Thanks to all at Stillpoint: Tuny Page and all good, hardworking riders, grooms, and friends. You all made my stay very special! Thanks to Evelina Karlsson who came from Sweden to help me with all my horses! I will treasure this trip forever! Thanks!
The last couple of weeks were as busy as all before. The fun was that I won Grand Prix Special, the last class of my stay. It was the Derby so it was extra fun. I just had Finally at this show, so it was easy with only one horse. The week after the show I had the opportunity to ride with Hubertus Schmidt who came from Germany for just a couple of days of work! Great work again from a world class rider and trainer. My "bag" is filled with info, knowledge, and inspiration. Super end of my stay!
The last Saturday Brook Ledge came to pick up my 5 horses to drive them back to L.A. Great staff and equipment! My horses were back in L.A. after 48 hrs on the road. They traveled in a box stall and my cool horse Regent laid down in his bed made out of straw and shavings.He is a "cool cat." All horses got off looking good but tired and now a week later all are back in work, happy to be home at beautiful Mill Creek.
I am happy to be home again, too and sometimes I have to think...Did I really do all this? I will ride Finally in a CDI show the last weekend of March and the weekend before that I have 7 horses going to a local show. My students will ride everything from First level to Int one. So here we go...Florida or California, we all are in the fast, fun lane! In April I will start my clinics again and life here in L.A. is just back; just like that!
But in my heart, I will keep all I learned, all the the fun days, great people, excitement, crazy moments!! All that will stay forever.
Hope all of you are well! Spring is coming!
