Things are moving along here at a quiet but busy productive pace. Katie is enjoying Artisan even though he does test her periodically! Meeko is hoping to go back to work lightly tomorrow! I am not sure which one of us (Me or Meeko) is happiest, He is SO bored. I have had Pam Tarrel’s Urbana and Carol Surprenant’s Lance in full training for a couple months and they are excelling fabulously! They are a couple of gems. Both learning their changes and super collection. Yeah!! Carol’s shattered wrist is healed and getting stronger, almost time for her to try out her new horse in Lance. Samantha Hoffman moved her boy Lucjan to our barn a couple weeks ago and they have settled in and fit in well.
Katie is fininshing her college classes this week and then will start to prepare for real for her journey to Germany. She leaves the day before Thanksgiving. Still not sure just how I feel about the move. The barn where she will be working is called Gestut Nymphenburg http://www.gestuet-nymphenburg.de/ Her clinincs in Palos Verdes are full and I will be taking over when she leaves. I look forward to meeting them all. Meanwhile I continue to go to Ramona each month for a nice group of riders as well as teaching in the local area.
