Good Bye Oreo

Oreo and KatieSad day here. We lost our beloved Oreo tonight. She has given so much. She taught Katie how to love a horse/pony; appreciate their sense of humor, ride determined, trust like a friend and play lots of fun games! The insurmountable time Katie and Jessica (on Melanie) spent on their ponies was so fun to watch. Katie got her when she was 4 which put Oreo at about 33 yrs old. We all will miss her.

New stuff

Wow its almost March already! With all the rain I think it will be a beautiful spring and all of us will welcome drier weather!

Our year is starting out with exciting stuff! Katie is settled in to a good routine in Germany. She is enjoying her regular horses and will be competing for her first time in a couple weeks!!! They have many shows lined up  including a two week show in Munich! She will be home for Easter which we are all excited about. I hope to go over there at the end of summer.

Back here in El Cajon I am enjoying concentrating on my riding!  Artisan turned a huge corner in training and we are having so much fun together. I went to Debbie’s for a lesson a couple weeks ago and came away very excited! Clips of the lesson were just added to the site. Hopefully I will be back up there very soon for another.

I will be taking Artisan to the Dressage Affaire, Mar. 12 – 14, second level. Samantha and Lucjan will be showing as well!! Doing this horse travel without Katie feels very strange!

Santayo, “Tayo” our almost 3yr old is off at school! I have been on him (in a western saddle, you should see me post in it, ha ha!) and he is due to come home mid March!
