Brief Update
Hello!
I hope you are all enjoying a wonderful summer...
I've gotten numerous e-mails and private comments from you all asking where I am and what I'm doing... So, here's a little update (with photos!) of what's been going on since my last post in May... I've taken some of the questions people have e-mailed me over the last few months and answered them.
How was the Raleigh CDI?- Bummer... Fizzy and I didn't get the qualifying score we needed to get to the Olympic Selection Trials. Fizzy was a little tricky and I wasn't enough on the ball to ride the heck out of the tests like I needed to... We all knew the Olympics this year were a long shot for us... but the road that I've gotten to take the last two years in trying to get there... has been nothing short of the most amazing journey. On to Kentucky and the 2010 World Equestrian Games!
Who are we working with? Since the end of July Fizzy and I have had the honor of working with Robert Dover. Robert "gets" Fizzy probably better than anyone else we've ever worked with, and getting to watch a six time Olympian ride my pride and joy is simply awesome. Robert has given me the greatest lessons, and has really helped me into the mind of the Fizz. I am having the best time, and very much do not want Mr. Dover to retire in October.
What other horses are you riding? Of course I am riding my mini-pride and joy, Tweakie, still... and I also have a very nice stallion in training, in addition to a fabuloussss sale horse. Now that I'm doing more of my own business, I am taking a limited number of horses into training and/or sales horses, which is very exciting. If any of you know someone, or are interested in sending me a horse for training (in Florida though next May... then back to Vermont for the summer/fall!) please send me an E-mail: StarDoozer@aol.com.
Where are you keeping your horses? Fizzy is still at Tuny's, while Tweakie and the other two are out in Loxahatchee at a very nice, quiet barn owned by my friend Stacey. Stacey also has a really cool consignment tackstore in Wellington where she also sells those beautiful stainless steel tack trunks... All of her items are also listed on her eBay store: http://stores.ebay.com/Everything-But-the-Horse-LLC. Check it out- there are some amazing deals!
