The last little bit has been really busy.  My friend Sara is here visiting untill the 30th and her parents are also here for a visit. They’re like my second family so it was nice to see some familiar faces from home. Sara has a stallion over here so we have been traveling back and fourth […]

I know there are many of you who either can’t make it to WEG or decided you would say ‘no thanks’ to the grossly inflated prices that pass for Kentucky’s tourism philosophy (if you are going to charge what the market will bear, you’d better do some research first and make sure you know what […]

Well, they’ve finally done it. Just like Thelma and Louise driving off the cliff, the six hell-no provinces officially seceded from Equine Canada this week. And that is where the similarity to T & L ends (after all, truth IS stranger than fiction). Other than a few dead men whose rotten souls no one would […]

Even more pressing is the question: why is everyone’s blog starting to look like a CoTH forum? Last week it was RD’s blog, now it’s a guest post that Steph Rhodes-Bosch (the daughter I never had) wrote on EventingNation. In the post she refers to David O’Connor as Captain Canada, and boy does she catch […]

There is just so much to write about this week! Spruce, the Canadian Eventing team announcement, Show Jumping team announcement (which I hope will be in my inbox tomorrow), Canadian dressage fund raiser, which dabbled in human trafficking….look for one of my marathon posts tomorrow. In the meantime, you really need to catch a laugh […]

Sorry for the delay, folks. The translation I was waiting for didn’t go up on Anky’s site until late yesterday afternoon. See, when I read Astrid’s announcement Sunday that Anky had dropped the law suit, I noticed she quoted from a press release. Naturally I went to Anky’s site to read the full release, and […]

Hi everyone – just a quick ‘hello’ to ask you to tune in tomorrow for this week’s blog. I’m waiting for something important to be translated that I want to share with you. A demain!   

This week, Vitall really showed me how important balance is in training. This was my first lesson training with Anky again and it was good. She said that his frame looked much better which meant that I had improved some things while she was away which was nice to hear. That said, I still struggle a […]

Richland Park was HUGE.  I went there three years ago when they had a tornado go through and take down all the tents.  It has grown in the past three years.  It has to be one of the biggest events in America if you are just counting entries.  There appeared to be literally hundreds and […]

I know I mustn’t but I just can’t help myself. I cherish my VW Westphalia so unreservedly (and with absolutely no common sense) that I am now buying its third engine. As one of my more sympathetic and understanding (read: fellow VW owner) friends says, ‘third time is the charm’. The van is getting an […]
