The last five days I have been in Krakow and Berlin. I loved Krakow (Poland). It’s a beautiful city and very clean. With its cobblestone streets, it felt like you were stepping back in time, but still in the present with all these little restaurants and bars. Each one different from the next. I’ve never […]

Last weekend I saw Amsterdam in the best way I think you can see the city, by boat through the Canals. It was incredible going through all these little passages and seeing all the different parts of the city. Amsterdam has so much character and it really feels alive. We were on a 100-yearold boat, […]

The other day I went on a safari tour about 45 min away from my house. It was incredible and it was a blast to just be a kid all day and walk around and look at all these exotic animals. I love it how animals can always make you laugh and put a smile […]

Bromont didn’t quite go as hoped.  It’s hard to say why.  Colombo has only eliminated Selena twice in six years and unfortunately Bromont was one of them.  It may have been the grueling schedule he had followed this Spring, five three star in four months!  We had hoped that the selector might not run the […]

I have to say that Austria is one of my favourite places in Europe so far. I felt so at home with the big mountains peering down at me. I have this feeling of closeness with them around me and the fresh air. I was just in heaven as we weaved our way up the […]

I am sure everyone has been wondering over the last little bit where Vitall is and why haven’t I written about him. It’s a bit of a sad subject for me, and I didn’t want to put it out there until I for sure knew that my 2012 Olympic quest was no longer reachable and […]

Now it is all focus on Bromont.  Selena is riding Foxwood High in the two star.  This will probably be his last two star outing and she is looking forward to it.  He competed at Grandview in the Open Intermediate, we are pretty sure he finished second but as Selena had to leave early to […]

Sorry for such a long delay in between blogs! I have had a busy last month with lots of visitors, which has been great :). My mom came to visit for 10 days. It felt like Christmas when she opened her suitcase. She had brought all my little favourite things from home like my teas […]

The weeks turn into months and fly by. It is really hard to keep track of simple things like the day of the week unless a major show is on the horizon and then each day is weighed and measured to fit into the schedule. On an Olympic year there are all sorts of pre-requisites that […]

The past few weeks have been a blast been. Cirque de Soleil Corteo was fantastic! The music and the choreography was superb. I recommend the show to anyone. I would like to use some of the music from the show for a freestyle. I walked out of there full of some great freestyle ideas.   […]
