***MINDEN***NEVADAOK NOW SUMMER HAS BLASTED BY. WE HAVE SHOWN SOME WITH APPROPRIATE SUCCESS AND HAVE CHALLENGED OURSELVES AS WELL. PEBBLE BEACH WAS FABULAOUS FOR A MUCH NEEDED STRETCH AND OVERALL GREAT TIME. GEORGIE(AKA-GENTRY) MADE HIS FIRST SHOW EFFORT A FABULOUS THING AND MADE US ALL PROUD. BEBA, BRENDA, AND URSULA WORKED HARD THERE AND HELD THEIR OWN WHICH IS ALL ANYONE CAN ASK FOR. A FRIEND, CATHY MURPHY AND HER NICE HUNTER DROPPED IN TO SHOW WITH US WITH GREAT SUCCESS AS WELL IN THE BABY HUNTER CLASSES. LOTS OF POTENTIAL OOOZING OUT OF ALL THE LADIES AND WAS QUITE INSPIRING.
SO NOW WE ARE OFF TO WRAP UP 2008 SHOW SEASON-REVERE AND ELIANE WILL HIT PICKWICK, NORCAL FINALS, AND HALLOWEEN TO START THEIR A/A CAREER AND I WILL DO SOME MORE FINE TUNING ON REVERE'S PREP FOR THE RATED HUNTERS NEXT YEAR. CJ OBRIEN WILL HANG WITH US AT A SHOW FOR SOME JUMPERS, BRENDA WILL SCHOOL HER NEWJUMPER PROSPECT,"HOPE', AND GENTRY WILL ALSO FINISH THIS YEAR PREPPING FOR NEXT YEARS PREGREEN DIVISION.
AND FINALLY, I AM PROUD TO ANNOUNCE MY INVOLVEMENT IN NEVADA HORSE PARK. I ENCOURAGE YOU TO INVESTIGATE THIS PROMISING AND HORSE CULTURE ALTERING VENTURE THAT WILL BRING NOTORIETY TO OUR COMMUNITY IN SUCH AN EMPOWERING WAY. THE WEST COAST HORSE SHOW WORLD IS ABOUT TO BE ROCKED - AND I AM SO EXCITED TO BE A PART OF IT. STAY EXTREMELY TUNED OR BETTER YET-CONTACT US AND BE A PART OF THIS MONUMENTAL PROJECT!!

SPRING UPDATE may 2008
IN PICKING UP WHERE I LEFT OFF- FALL WAS COLD AND SWIFT. ELIANE HERTSEN HIT THE HUNTER SCENE WITH HER BOY ,REVERE, AND OFF WE WENT TO TUCSON FOR MORE OF THE SAME. THE PAIR WILL BE CLIMBING THE A/A LADDER SOON AND WITH THEIR GREAT START IN PICKWICK AND REVERE PREPARING FOR THE FIRST YEARS --WELL WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT THE FUTURE OF THIS LOVELY HORSE AND HIS MOM. (PICS ARE COMING)
BRENDA DEBUTED KEEPSAKE, HER BABY HUNTER AND SAME EXCITEMENT IN STORE FOR THIS UBER TALENTED HORSE. AND JUBILEE KEEPS MOVING UP .
FALL ALSO SAW MY PERSONAL PRIDE AND JOY-- TULLY--START HER MOVE INTO THE KID WORLD. SHE GRADUATED FROM LEADLINE AND DID HER FIRST WALK TROT ON OUR BELOVED 25 YR OLD "TOMMY" AKA "SURE BET".SHE STILL BRAGS ABOUT THE BEAUTIFUL GREEN RIBBON SHE RECEIVED IN THE OBSTACLE CLASS, AFTER ALL SHE JUMPED A TROT POLE-!!!! WAS THE SWEETEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR ---jan 2008---HERE IS A BIT OF A RECAP OF 2007!!!
SOME OF THE HIGH NOTES....TRIO SURVIVED HIS NEAR DEATH VISIT-THANKS TO REESE HAND AND CRYSANNE COLLATOS FOR HELPING HIM PULL THROUGH HIS VERY BIZARRE AND LIFE THREATENING ILLNESS. VANESSA EVEN RODE HIM RECENTLY AND HE WAS ACTING LIKE A 5 YEAR OLD. WHAT HEART HE HAS!!!
CJ IS 29 AND HANGING IN TOO AND MY GERIATRIC PASTURE IS CERTAINLY GROWING WITH MY HONORABLE ELDERS!!
DENISE AND BEBA HAD SOME GREAT HIGHS AT SHOWPARK LAST SUMMER-KATRINA MADE HER SOUTHERN CAL DEBUT WITH RISA WITH THE THRILL OF VICTORY AND A LITTLE AGONY OF YOU KNOW WHAT BUT IS LOOKING FORWARD TO PICKING UP WHERE SHE LEFT OFF IN SPRING. BRENDA DEBUTED "JUBILEE" AND WHAT FUN IT HAS BEEN TO BE A PART OF DEVELOPING THIS CUTE MARE-URSULA HUNG BACK ON THE SHOW SEASON SINCE HER DAUGHTER JEN WAS IN FRANCE AS AN EXCHANGE STUDENT SO ALL INDULGENCES FOR UTSCHI WERE ON HOLD UNTIL THIS SEASON( I AM SURE RATISSIMO IS WAITING PATIENTLY)
I GOT TO EXPERIENCE MY FIRST OLDENBERG INSPECTION WITH MY "DAISY"-AKA RAGAHLIA-- SHE WAS AWESOME AND SUE LIGHTNER WAS GENTLE WITH ME BEING A BIT OUT OF MY ELEMENT- BUT I HAVE A FANCY RAGTIME BABY TO START THIS SUMMER SO THAT WILL BE A HIGHLIGHT TO LOOK FORWARD TO.
