working on the pony's dressage game at a local schooling show...

NY NY

one of my favorite places in the world

an inspiring trip for a seminar on artist endowed foundations and time in some very special artists' spaces, hosted by the Aspen Institute's Artist Endowed Foundations program.

IEL #3 (and last of the season)

ended with the final banquet and friend and team member jillian getting reserve champion. these friendships will last a lifetime. until next year!

Mission Pacific

starting to realize if you can't find me on the weekend, its because I'm with one of the girls at a horseshoe...









(and that this has become much less of a place for me to write down my thoughts / concerns / complaints / dreams and much more of a photo album. and I'm good with that.)

Camelot - with Kaira

As I've mentioned before, our beloved Phantom is not cut out for eventing. Dressage, and hunter - ok. But not jumping and not the rigor that goes into a three-day event. So K is working with a schooling pony. Taking her for a test-drive so to speak. Kaira is a 11 year old Haflinger with A LOT OF GO! (Reminds K of Curio, I think.) We will see where this takes us...

p.s. the hunter / jumper world is very different to dressage. this barn mom is learning a lot too!

ETI - Let's Jump!

K has been very motivated this year to try her skills at jumping - with an end goal of trying eventing (!) This little show was a nice place to start...

















ended up being a super long day. (downside - super tired riders - and horses. upside - gorgeous sunset.)

Looking back...
