Congratulations to the Canadian Pan Am Dressage team.
I am just sitting in the Air Canada lounge waiting for my departure for a week in Germany, where I am teaching two Saddle Ergonomist courses back to back. I am torn between writing a blog about a recent experience with one of my endurance riding clients or putting some of my thoughts down on paper about our recent dressage team at the Pan Ams. I think the latter is more timely, so I will write the other story next week (it’s still in the process of resolution anyway, so I’ll probably have more to tell you by then!).
First and foremost, of course – congratulations to the team for achieving their silver medal and of course to Chris von Martels for his individual bronze and to Belinda Trussell for being oh-so-close in fourth place. These Games are proving our absolutely most successful in history – only half over and we have already achieved more medals than for the entire games in 2011! Schleese is also happy to have had riders on both the Gold Medal (US) and Bronze Medal (Brazil) teams.
On Monday night as part of the Horse Experience events, I took members of my staff and guests to the Orangeville Fair Grounds for ‘dinner and a movie’ – the showing of the documentary “Power of 2” by Wendy and Lewis Manne of Zap Productions. read the full article here.
