Welcome to the new horses in the program... Natalie, a Holsteiner/Andalusian cross has come to fulfill Tracey's aspirations in her riding career. Nice pair they make and I expect wonderful things. Harley, 16h3 Thoroughbred gelding with an incredible mind, has joined the team to show PJ the ropes of horsemanship. I absolutely love riding them both and I could not have found nicer horses for my peoples.
Pictures soon to follow...

Changes are coming
Wow, what a month it has been. Riedmuller Eventing has confirmed it's move to Rickman Horse Farm in Montgomery County, which is home to the Great and Small Therapeutic Riding Program. That will happen on or around January 15, 2010. The area is gorgeous, with trails and hacking maintained by EPIC (Equestrian Partners in Conservation) and the Potomac Hunt. The move will spark a new tone for my students and I, as we'll be back in old stomping grounds.
The highlight of the month was definitely the Kim Severson Clinic, just in time for a whopping winter storm. A determined Mom/Daughter pair made it against lots of odds from Harrisburg, PA to attend. Kismet may be at work here, as Karissa was asked to join Kim's Team at Paragon Farm in Palmyra, VA.... The weather was challenging to say the least, yet the indoor was a haven of excellent footing and exemplary instruction.
Other than that, trudging through snow is the order of the day. Christmas was low key; next year, we're going to Trinidad!

September 2009
What a good busy month.... The Honey Bun got sold to Krista Grubb; what a great match! I think they will be hard to beat in junior divisions. Black Tie Optional joined the barn with his own wonderful quirky personality. We all agree that Tie wants to be an event horse and he has been having so much fun!
The Trinidad Equestrian Team has asked for a dressage coach suggestion, so I am on the hunt for a trainer looking to spend a week in the Caribbean. Arduous as that may be! I hope that Jaralyn Finn can make the time this winter.
Also unbeknownst to me, Kim Severson was commissioned by USEF to go to Trinidad to help the Equestrian Program there. Small world, as I was hosting a clinic with her in December. I hope to make that team one day for the Equestrian Games.
