Mette's August 2007 News Update

Here is a quick update to let you all know what Mette has been up to the past couple of months. She has been mainly giving clinics and has been in and out of Europe, both on horse buying trips and to visit family. She has been working with Debbie McDonald and riding six horses. This summer, Mette has also had many students coming from all over the world, with and without horses. She currently has students from Australia, Malaysia, Sweden and soon from Hong Kong. Mette says: "The barn is full of nice and dedicated students and that's really fun!"

Mette’s horses are all going well, but she has not been to any shows lately because of the heat; she feels it’s not fair to press the horses for performance in the show ring during the hottest summer months. Mette will be back to the show ring, however, for the regional finals in Woodside, California (October 11-14) and then she will be riding in the International CDI November 9 - 11 at Showpark in San Diego. Mette is looking forward to the 2007-2008 show season and working with Basquewille, as well as her promising young horses, Donatello, Rockefeller and Taison.
