Fall Updates

Well, for those of you that don't know, I was travelling for work and vacation through most of August and the first part of September. I'm home and I've actually ridden my horse and it was great! Yahoo!
Just an update on my previous fosters.
She's Got Wings - Adoption Pending
Sea Dar - Available
Soothe The Soul - Available (perfect husband horse)
Saribel Cruz - Available
It just now occurred to me that all of their registered names begin with S. How weird is that? Anyhow, visit the FFI website for information on them including pictures and video.
Saribel Cruz (aka Flirt) has been started over ground poles and little Xs. She is doing really well and is going to make someone a REALLY nice horse. She's only just turned 4 and is just shy of 16h, so I think she'll probably finish around 16.1 when its all said and done. Someone needs to snatch her up!
Our tracks will be closing in a couple weeks for the winter. That means that new horses will be available soon. The date of the track sale has not yet been announced, but I'll certainly put it up here when it is! I'll have new fosters in at that time and will certainly post about them here.
Let me know what you're doing with your horses and how the summer went. Just reply to this thread to keep in touch!

Roman's First Show
Sarah & Roman participated in their first USDF show over the weekend. Roman (aka Shedroe Warrior) is one of my former foster horses. While they had a bobble in their first test where Roman left the arena and it caused them to be eliminated, he evidently determined that this dressage thing wasn't bad and did beautifully on his second test! They did so well, in fact, that he earned a 68.5% -- good enough for first place! Many congrats to Sarah and Roman and I look forward to many more blue ribbons in your future!

Roman @ First USDF Show
I am thrilled to announce that my former foster horse Roman is making his USDF competitive debut this weekend under new owner Sarah-Jayne. They will only be competing in Intro, but he I'm thrilled for them none-the-less. I'll definitely take my camera with me, so look for photos!
Upcoming WEG Events
So its sort of an exciting time here in the midwest because next year, Lexington KY, which is about 3 hours away, is going to play host to the World Equestrian Games. Over 600 horses will be present in pretty much every equine competitive discipline out there. The logistics of the whole thing have got to be completely crazy.
While surfing the web today, I came across an interesting article on the Quarantine location for the games. It looks like they're going to be turning part of the parking lot at the Cincinnati airport into a quarantine facility. Here is a link to the article.
And so discussion of WEG begs the question of whether or not I plan to attend. The best I can do right now is "I'm thinking about it." I looked into what it would take to be one of the many official event photographers, but it appears that in order to get a media pass, one must actually be associated with the media. Hmmm. Go figure! One of the issues everyone will face is where to stay. I suppose the good news is that if I decide on an event (or events) to watch, I live close enough that I could actually drive home and not have to get a hotel. While a round trip in one day to Lexington is not ideal, I've done it before for Rolex. And if it meant the difference between going and not going, I would most likely do it just to say I got to go. :)
