Back in Vermont!

After travelling half-way around the world and from the bottom to the top of the eastern seaboard, I am very happy to report that Fizzy, Tweakie (my youngster!) and I are all home, safe and sound.

A recap of the past 10 months for the Fizz and I:

Late September, 2006- Arrive at Klaus Balkenhol's in Rosendahl, Germany
Late November, 2006- Leave Klaus' and ship to Wellington, Florida
November, 2006-May, 2007- Work for and train with Tuny Page in Wellington (I also got to do a ton of showing, including five shows with Fizzy, three with Ice Cup and one with Sager Deern)
February, 2007- Tweakie arrives from Vermont to join me for the rest of the Florida season
May, 2007- Ride in a clinic with Hubertus Schmidt hosted by Tuny Page
May 30th, 2007- Tweakie, Fizzy and I depart for our final Brentina Cup qualifier in Raleigh, North Carolina
June 2007- Raleigh is a huge success; Fizzy and I win our qualifier with a 72%, earning the comment from Jane Kidd, "This horse is the epitome of the happy athlete. Well done."
June 4th, 2007- Arrive at Lendon Gray's Gleneden Dressage for a week of training prior to the National Championships at Gladstone
June 13th, 2007- Depart for the National Championships, going into the final as the #1 qualifier in the nation (with a 70% average)
June 17th, 2007- Win the Brentina Cup Championship for the second year in a row.
June 18th, 2007- HOME!

And what a ride this has been!

I will write more details later, but I just wanted to let you all know we are finally home, safe and sound, after quite the adventure.

All the best,

Lizzy+Fizzy
