Well the last two months have been an adventure. The ERAHC Classic went great, we got high-point of the dressage, reserve champion half-andalusian mare and pretty much cleaned house from reining to hunt seat hack. YAY Sadie mare!
New York was a different story. My poor pony had a flare up of his ulcers (who is the genius who put the dressage championships next to...

Well, I finally got my eternal knot tattoo yesterday. It's about 5 years overdue and I'm thrilled with how it turned out. My only hope now is that Mike, one of my fav people and the only tattoo artist I will go to, makes a speedy return to health. He's been battling cancer this summer and I'm amazed that he still not only works, but...

I can't believe that I got so caught up in training and school and more training and competing that I lost track of which day this went up!! OOPS!
The competition was a great success...The Doodle and Sadie both made me proud and I now...

Well, results are in and my GPA is 3.98! WOOHOO! THAT was a tough but rewarding semester. Never again will I sign up for SIX Master's level classes at the same time. I got one A- but it was a class I was convinced I would fail, so I really can't complain at all!
Speaking of exams and school..when trying to come up with an...

Oh god, and the dance scene!
Awesome indeed. I still have to actually watch it (as opposed to just having it on while shooting the sexy co-ed.)

I'm so glad that you got to keep your scholarship too and that you'll have some time off to enjoy now. Thanks for another glimpse into your horse racing world. I love the name Arbordoodle. I also love to be bathed, massaged, and fed donuts too.
I have one of those jobs that is SOOO full of bull shit that I'm glad I own several pairs of boots. And speaking of boots; I'm told that since my right one leaks I should only get my left one wet....Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?!? But anyway, my work with the horses..SPECTACULARRRRR...my other job, eh..not so much. Yesterday was one of those days when nothing went...

Happy Birthday, even if your account is dead
Today was absolute chaos. There was a huge fire right down the road today and all of downtown and the Washington Street area was without power. That may not sound so bad but keep in mind I live in a school zone right down the road from a major hospital...no power..no traffic lights. It was bad enough that being without power meant that I couldn't...

Happy Thanksgiving to you and all your horses!!
nuadventure:
I wished you a Happy Thanksgiving and now I am going to wish you a Merry
Christmas. And since I tend to be predictable, I will probably wish you a Happy
New Year in another week or so.
But even though these are holiday greetings, you can write me anytime to tell
me how you are doing. Hope you're doing well.

Yeah so seriously, the world has gone mad. Having traveled a great deal in my life I was living with the delusion that it was only the US media that focused on trivial, Hollywood-centric, STUPID stories (think Britney Spears running over a photog's foot..or anything involving the cast of The Hills). Well...I stand corrected. While talking to a friend of mine in Turkey today (the...

New pictures of Calista - Yea!! I love the fifth photo the most going from l-r. The love you have for that horse is obvious in your expression and I see the love coming back from the horse too. I think the sixth photo is you sneaking a nap because of all your exams (lol)
I know...that was terrible. If only I would've had my cup of coffee this morning, I would've had the sense not to print that.
Anyway...hope you and your horses are doing well. So you've been to New York and maybe SC. Is there any chance the Calista world tour is going to come to my area? Take care.
