I caught a STOW AWAY in Florida!!!!

Veronica is trying to take a nibble out of Andrew!!!!



Mid-Jan 2012 Windy, Veronica, Vinca, Brisk & I traveled to FL to spend a few months training and competing. Chuck drove the 4 horse trailer down while Phoebe drove another trailer full of hay and shavings...the trip was easy. Windy & Vinca got off of the trail with a GAME ON mentality while Brisk was a bit tired and Baby Veronica had some serious sea-legs. After 2 days of turnout, all horses were ready to roll under saddle. The warm weather has agreed with all of us. I had wanted to post this update much sooner, but, lucky for me, Chuck stayed for 10 days (double then what I expected) and we were busy organizing a routine and life down here. Magnolia Dressage has been the absolute perfect choice destination for us all -- the facility is wonderful with great footing, and owners, Cathy & George, are just the best!!! I was super stressed about my new MAC Laptop purchase just days before driving, but I am figuring my away around (thank you ALI for the lessons before departure) this new machine and plan to have every one's 2011 picture discs ready upon my return home to Thornridge. While in FL, I will also plan to update the Current News section of the website as I have not had any extra time to do so SINCE Aug 2011!! In the meantime, I do want to extend a huge CONGRATULATIONS to all of of our Thornridge riders on their near sweep of all Championships for the MDA Final Year End Awards. Many of our riders also received USDF ALL-Breed AWARDS reflecting their 2011 success. Please look for more details to be posted on the current news sec ion of the website (soon). And, as promised, I will keep posting on the blog.....maybe even set up a FB page....miracles do happen!!! I send Maryland and my Thornridge Family many rays of sunshine. xoxox Phoebs & Gopher
