I know some of you are thinking that I’m a grouchy old hag for my laundry list of complaints against EC’s fabulous communications department last week, but I’ll take my lumps. I stand by what I said, and  in my inbox this morning I found the perfect example of what I was getting at. It […]

I’m sitting in West Palm Beach airport, killing the extra hour I have because I thought my flight was at 7 am, not 8:20 (I guess it’s better than making the opposite mistake). Checking email, I found the EC Weekend Preview in my inbox and it inspired me to clarify my thoughts on EC’s new […]

It’s been a slice but holy ravioli am I ready for a little quiet time at home. I’ll wave bye-bye to Welly from the air tomorrow morning and will not likely set foot here again until next winter. But I have lots to tell you about, so stay tuned. If I have enough elbow room […]

They really do march to the beat of a different drummer down here where the palm trees grow and the wealthy drive golf carts. On Monday, just six days after the Welly World elections swept Bob Margolis into the mayor’s seat, the Achilles heel of Florida elections reared its ugly head (or foot, I should […]

You know I must have my knickers in quite a twist to post twice in one day, right? Yesterday I was doing my morning international dressage catch up on Eurodressage – something I do most days of the year. Imagine my surprise when I read for the first time about two Canadian Dressage Symposiums (symposia if […]

Someone who likes to call herself Dressage Diva (and who apparently is not familiar with my well-publicized hatred of anonymous bitching) thinks I am talking out of school regarding WW III in Welly World. Perhaps through the last several weeks’ posts, in which I vacillate between being somewhat sympathetic to one point of view and […]

I know, I know. I promised I would post this ‘Monday at the latest’. Please cut me a little slack. It’s just  nuts here in Welly World. More nuts even than usual. I have barely had time to eat, never mind sleep. I got here on Sunday night and it just hasn’t stopped, this Welly […]

Greetings from the warm and breezy World of Welly, where I am once again enjoying the colourful antics of the local population. Yesterday was the municipal election, and what a doozie it was. You think the republican primaries are a slag-fest? Those mild-mannered conservative good fellahs can’t hold a candle to the creators of the […]

It’s not for lack of things to blog about  but the fourth dimension that has kept me away from my usual Wednesday posts this week. But I promise to make up for the wait with a post on the qualified nations for London (Azerbaijan???) to appear no later than Monday, when I will be back […]

Sing it! Who’s afraid of the Big Bad Wolf FEI, the FEI the FEI, Who’s afraid of the FEI, the FEI, yes I! It’s a bit ridiculous when you think about it. Journalists should not be afraid of the international organizations that administer the sport the journalists cover. Transparency and openness on the part of the […]
