Dear Judy,
I would like to thank you for everything. Our yesterday meeting and the whole stay in Holland was perfect. We had great time and now I am looking forward to welcome my new horse in Prague :).
I am sending you two memories for yesterday. On one of the photo I can see two beautiful blond ladies and also very beautiful horse. What a combination :)!
I am also sending few photos of Petra and her stallion just for imagination. He has a great spirit and worked very hard for her. Now is time to find him new home. She is thinking about our brainstorming yersterday so lets see and I let you know.
Have a great day. We are leaving to Normandy on Wednesday 🙂
Many Greetings

Hey Judy,
Thought I would send you out a note as show season has finished in Alberta. I must begin by saying that Anthony is a LOT of fun. I only got out to 3 shows as we purchased the new riding stable and I have been VERY busy. I showed PSG and I1 and at the final show, our Western Regional Championships, we emerged the champions. I am now home for the winter and working like crazy on the piaffe passage.
I think Anthony is a complete Albertan now. He has enjoyed his full acre of private turnout daily; having learned to graze and stretch his legs. He is funny to watch. When he wants water, he puts his head up and has a nice, contained canter to the waterer. He has his drink and then canters back to wherever he was last grazing. Most rewardingly, when I go to the gate to catch him, he usually trots or canters to me! I’m not sure he is ready to face the very cold winter but at least his barn is heated so he will only go out as it suits him.
Hope things are well for you, Joe and your little one.

Hi Judy,
How is everything with you ?
We had a good news about Zandor for you. Last weekend, we had a dressage game. Zandor participated in a L class with Ko. He got a score 61.8% and 5th place!!
It was a first time challenge so that many people, judges and instructors, were interested in him. Then, I took part in second level class with Zandor. He got 1st place and we received cash awards!! 🙂 We are so proud of him. Thanks to you, we are very happy with him. Next month, we will take part in another game in Tokyo. So, I will let you know about it.
Cheers

Just to let you know that I took Bugatti for a lesson today with Andrew Gould and also my trainer, who trains with Carl Hester, also came to watch me!
Bugatti was super. They both really liked him. Andrew said that his walk and canter were fantastic, that the horse had big scopey paces and was very uncomplicated. He said that he finds the lateral work very easy and seems very good in the contact.
My trainer was lost for words, all he could say was stunning and fabulous mover, and he usually has a lot to say! He said that the horse was better than I said he was!
Andrew also said that he is a real stunning looking horse and that we will do very well in competition!
So not bad really!!! Watch this space!!!!!
Very best regards, Marlene x

Hi Judy!
Karen and I had a complete blast riding with you! Our six days went by way too quickly. I learned some good things, experienced well trained horses, and loved watching you as you rode. You have a great feeling and empathy for horses – and the riders!
I’m thinking this is your birthday weekend. Karen and I will imagine you at the Elite Equine Auction Gala. It will be a spectacular night, I am sure!
Thank you again for a wonderful horse vacation! I really hope we can do it soon again.
Fondly,
Beth

This was our first show since Winston’s colic surgery a year ago. It was just the “ride a test ” at Singletree, but Winston was super good. Karen made us wear our full show rig so note my fancy new helmet with wider brim against the sun, and my fancy new light weight jacket (Italian?) that is quite fitted but very comfortable to ride in.
We have plenty of things to work on. Getting a 72.5 was fantastic ( my highest score ever) but consistency is the name of the game. We’ll see how things go one show at a time.
I’m very proud of Winston!!!

The house is “staged” and will go on the market soon. Needless to say, we are exhausted.)
