Last weekend we took a busload to a dressage show in Belleville at Misty Ayr Stables.  Selena was doing five tests on two horses and Anne Marie was doing two tests on one horse.  They won six out of seven of their tests… however… we have to own up to there being nobody else in […]

OK, so this time a whole month slipped by, I do not know where the time in my day flies to.  I just cannot seem to grasp it and make it extend enough to encompass everything I want to do.  The days need way more hours. So Solo did not go to Bromont.  After coming […]

Another week has whipped by. Three of the horses competed at Will O Wind, all were wonderful.  It was our three sales horses and I hope they will all upgrade successfully at Grandview this coming weekend making them eminently saleable.  It’s fun to have a string of such beauties coming along in the competition field,  […]

I am so very proud of Solo.  He did his first Intermediate at Wit’s End in a blizzard (no kidding) and was fantastic.  He did a really good dressage test with just one change of lead in his counter canter when he got a bit prancy.  Beautiful stadium and a lovely cross country.  There were […]

After Rolex there has been some let down time in terms of Colombo and the feverish preparation for a four star, plus a lowering of the general agitation and suppressed excitement that the run up to Rolex generates throughout the whole team.  Selena took a well earned week off, however she produced a bad cold […]

       

Selena: Well, we made it to the top ten. Eigth in fact. I am so happy with his show jumping round. We finaly got our mojo back.  My last two warm up fences gave me the feel I had last year of how to make him jump clear.  The rail I did knock down was […]

                                Selena YAY! I survived another Rolex thanks to my faithful steed Colombo. Not only did we survive and go clean, but we made it under the time by four seconds. Hurray. I first want to say that I LOVE […]

Today was a busy day.  Although we had no competing to do, there was plenty to be done, in fact, it’s now 11.30pm and I have just got back to the hotel from doing late night check.  I dropped Selena back at the hotel earlier and predictably she is now asleep, so I guess you […]

Selena’s five cent’s worth: Well dressage day is definetly not my favourite. I woke up this morning and found it difficult to choke down my bagel.  I rode Mr. C in his new double bridle this morning at around 9am.  He was wonderful. I schooled in long and low to start… then moved on to […]
