Times flies when you are having fun and working 12 hours a day!

Four Camps down so far. The Texas camp was great as expected. We had a small group but lots of fun. After coming home to a Birthday Party given by my friends Sue and Cathy I had a couple of days of lessons before heading off to the beach! It was a wonderful break and a good way to turn 50, surrounded by friends from Texas, Maryland and DC. Lots of family, too.
Back we came and into three weeks of camp. I have had bunches of working students too. Lots of guest horses.... it has been hectic but fun.
We have twice gone to the Farrier's Meeting at Davie County Large Animal Hospital. We take a crew everytime we go. I have had two HA candidates, among others and they have especially learned from it. There are about 15 farriers in attendance and they are very willing to talk - big shock, eh?!
Speaking of which, CONGRATULATIONS to Robin Coulter, the newest H-A from the Carolina Region! Whoo - HOO! Robin is getting married in a couple of weeks too! ALSO, Robin helped us match up the gorgeous Bella with her new owner Gloria Ripperton. Good luck to them both, seems like a happy pair.
So camps are done, we are taking 9 horses to Hillcrest Dressage and Combined Test on wednesday, then I go to coach about 16 Pony Clubbers at Champsionships in Virgina. Mouse will be my helper. Mouse loves Morgan Whitehead, the Show Jumping coach. A little quality time coming up.
Another Congrats to McCall Dimarco on getting her D2 yesterday with almost all Exceeds Standards!
I will update after the next busy week!
Till later.
