CANADIANS GET BEST OF DRAW – NORWEGIANS WILL BE PATHFINDERS
The Canadian team is drawn last to go in tomorrow’s Meydan FEI Nations Cup Final in Barcelona, Spain where the Norwegians will be first into the ring. A total of six nations will now line out following the late withdrawal of Denmark.
The order of go is as follows – 1, Norway; 2, Spain; 3, Finland; 4, Poland; 5, Hungary; 6, Canada.
YOUNG GROUP
Canadian Chef d’Equipe, Mark Laskin, has been campaigning his crew in Europe for the last two months. “They are a young group of riders and they’ve been very consistent. They’ve been jumping well and are very capable and I expect a good result tomorrow and a great competition” he said. He has Jonathon and Amy Millar, son and daughter of Canadian legend Ian Millar, in his side along with Jenna Thompson and Keean White. Olympic Champion Eric Lamaze is also at the Spanish fixture but is competing only as an individual. Asked if the logistics and expense of bringing a Canadian team to Europe next season if they qualify for the elite Meydan FEI Nations Cup series tomorrow would prevent them from taking part, Laskin replied, “we’ll wait and see what happens first, if it works out that way then we will have a dialogue about it when we get home.” Read more> http://www.horsesinthesouth.com/article/article_detail.aspx?id=8177

The Adoption is September 26th at the BLM Britton Springs Administrative Corrals outside of Lovell, WY and then advocates from around the US are headed to DC!
Dear Cloud Supporters,
Just a quick update:
- Plans are coming together to adopt/purchase older horses and keep them together in their family bands until we have successfully lobbied for their release or the Washington DC District Court rules against the BLM. Please send donations to the Freedom Fund for getting the horses and to help us cover legal expenses. Our attorney and a great team of volunteers recently prevented the zeroing out of the West Douglas Herd in Colorado; we need more wins like that for our wild horses.
-Please join us in Washington DC for “Mustangs on the Hill” on the 29th of September. We will meet on the West Lawn of the Capitol Building in the morning for a press conference where Ginger will speak along with many other leading humane and wild horse advocates, Celebrity supporters and Senators and Congress people who are supportive of the ROAM Act. We will then spread out to meet with Senators and their staff to push for the immediate passage of the ROAM Act which is now in the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee. Please start calling your Senators now. New t-shirts featuring Conquistador in a campaign for the release of the older horses now available – wear yours to DC! Please come to the BLM Wild Horse and Burro Advisory Board meeting on September 28th in nearby Arlington, VA. Click here for more information — make comments even if you can’t come.
