A Word from Wendy Wendy
will
return
with
new
“words”
in
October
issue.

In
her
absence,
she’s
asked
student
Lindsay
Wong
to
share
her
story about
being
faced
with
making
a
decision
between
school
and
her
life
with
horses.



Changes by
Lindsay
Wong For
each
of
us,
life
has
a
pattern,
which
is
 fortunate,
 for
 otherwise
 life
 would
 be
 pretty
confusing.

Deep
within
us
we
have
 the
need
to
know
of
a
few
things
we
can
 depend
 on.
 Change
 and
 the
 unexpected
 are
good
too.
They
furnish
the
savor,
the
 salt,
 and
 the
 spice
 of
 life.
 But
 it
 is
 only
 because
of
the
familiar
pattern,
the
things
 that
we
can
count
upon
every
day,
that
the
 sudden
 changes
 and
 the
 unexpected
 happenings
are
pleasant.
We
could
see
no
 meaning
in
life
without
a
pattern.

We
can
 depend
on
the
sun
to
set
and
the
moon
to
 rise.
 We
 know
 that
 cool
 breezes
 will
 follow
waves
of
heat,
and
that
each
season
 of
 the
 year
 will
 come
 in
 proper
 turn.
 These
 are
 the
 things
 that
 give
 us
 con9i‐ dence.
They
are
the
foundations
of
faith.



These
 times
 taught
 me
 more
 than
 any
 lesson
in
AP
Physics
could
ever
teach
me.

 Coming
all
the
way
from
when
my
trainer
 sarcastically
 suggested
 jumping
 off
 of
 a
 large
bridge
based
on
my
trip
in
the
USET
 to
consistently
ribboning
at
WEF
with
my
 jumper
 gives
 me
 more
 satisfaction
 than
 any

‘A’

in
Calculus
ever
could.



 So,
as
my
junior
riding
career
comes
to
an
 end,
I
reminisce
upon
these
memories,
the
 lifelong
 friends,
 and
 the
 abundance
 of
 knowledge
 I
 have
 acquired
 from
 my
 time
 spent
around
horses.


At
the
same
time,
as
 I
look
back,
ever
so
grateful
for
the
advice,
 encouragement
 and
 support
 I
 received
 from
my
trainers,
I
can’t
help
but
wonder
if
 they
will
continue
to
hold
a
special
place
in
 my
 life
 as
 I
 travel
 across
 the
 country
 to
 attend
 school.
 
 Or

 what

Jumping Clinic With
Jeff
Wirthman

This
 is
 a
 cute
 large
 pony,
 excellent
 expression.
 The
 rider
 could
lengthen
her
stirrups
a
hole,
and
by
doing
that
she
 might
be
able
to
hold
her
position
better,
by
that
I
mean
 not
shoot
her
seat
so
far
back.
She
has
great
eye
control,
 and
she
and
her
pony
are
very
well
turned
out.

This
 horse
 has
 a
 great
 expression,
 he's
 wearing
 his
 ears
 well
&
looks
like
he's
enjoying
his
job.
The
rider
is
looking
 off
to
the
right
side,
she
should
be
looking
right
between
 his
ears.
The
only
other
thing
I
noticed
is
they
are
not
in
the
 middle
of
the
jump.
Over
all
a
very
nice
picture.

This
picture
is
in
my
opinion
taken
a
little
late,
he's
on
the
 decent,
 so
 he
 has
 already
 started
 to
 unfold
 his
 front
 end
 which
 makes
 him
 look
 a
 little
 drapey
 with
 his
 front
 end.
 The
rider
has
a
good
position,
I
would
like
see
her
stirrups
 at
least
one
hole
longer.
I
love
her
release
and
that
her
eyes
 are
up
looking
for
the
next
jump.

This
is
a
very
typy
horse.
It
is
a
beautiful
jumper,
with
a
great
 expression.
Both
horse
and
rider
are
turned
out
to
the
tens.
 Her
lower
leg
is
slipping
slightly
back
but
I'm
pretty
sure
it's
 from
his
powerful
jump.
From
the
photo
I'm
sure
they
win
 plenty.

North
American
Young
Riders
Championship By
Michael
Murphy

The Hay Stall

The
NAYRC
is
the
premier
equestrian
event
for
junior
riders
in
North
America.
It
is
 composed
of
 show
 jumping,
 dressage,
 eventing,
 reining
 and
 vaulting.
 
 I
 competed
 this
year
in
KY
in
the
show
jumping
section
on
the
Young
Rider
team
for
ZONE
4.
We
 jumped
a
course
of
approximately
1.50m
in
height
with
spreads
up
to
1.65m
and
 15ft.
 open
 water
 every
 day
 for
 4
 days.
 One
 of
 the
 quali9ications
 for
 making
 your
 zone’s
team
is
based
off
of
prize
money
won
in
classes
jumping
1.45m
or
higher.
The
 United
States
is
divided
into
12
zones
with
ZONE
4
consisting
of
six
states:
Alabama,
 Florida,
Georgia,
Mississippi,
South
Carolina,
and
Tennessee. 
 I
had
a
late
start
on
collecting
money
for
my
place
on
the
team.
My
horse
and
I
were
 still
getting
to
know
each
other
so
we
started
out
in
the
medium
junior
jumpers.
As
 the
circuit
progressed
we
moved
to
the
highs
and
then
to
the
open
jumper
classes.
 We
9inally
started
to
peak
in
May.
We
had
moved
into
the
Grand
Prix’s
and
turned
in
 several
clear
rounds.
To
be
eligible
to
compete
in
NAYRC,
you
must
have
a
certi9icate
 of
capability.
To
achieve
your
certi9icate,
you
must
complete
a
course
at
1.45m
or
 higher
with
4
faults
or
less
in
the
class.
Achieving
the
clear
rounds
at
the
Grand
Prix
 level
enabled
me
to
obtain
my
certi9icate.


The
hay
stall
originated
as
a
place
to
store
 hay.....seems
obvious.

However,
there
are
 those
that
have
utilized
the
hay
room
for
 other
creative
purposes,
which
brings
us
 to
the
birth
of
Central
Florida
Equestrian’s
 new
gossip
column,
appropriately
named
 ‘The
Hay
Stall’.

Fear
not,
Miss
Pitchfork
is
 here
to
keep
you
informed
of
all
interest‐ ingly
pertinent
information
from
around
 the
 Central
 Florida
 area.
 Miss
 Pitchfork
 needs
your
help
to
keep
this
column
fresh
 and
up
to
date
so
any
news
you’d
like
to
 share,
 big
 or
 small,
 please
 email
 to
 [email protected].

Now
get
digging
 and
help
Miss
Pitchfork
keep
the
hay
stall
 clean!

Showing
under
FEI
rules
is
much
different
then
USEF
rules.
In
FEI,
your
horse
can
 NOT
show
on
medication
nor
can
they
have
any
traces
of
medication
in
their
system.
 Also,
 FEI
 was
 allowed
 to
 drug
 test
 riders
 at
 any
 time.
 This
 is
 a
 very
 controversial
 topic
because
in
the
past,
people
that
were
on
heart
medication
were
considered
to
 be
on
“steroids”
in
the
sports
world,
which
would
lead
to
a
positive
drug
test.
For
 those
competing
on
teams,
the
whole
team
is
affected.
If
your
team
was
to
win
Gold
 Medal
and
you
tested
positive,
your
team
would
be
forced
to
forfeit
their
medal.
 The
week
was
very
strenuous.
We
had
team
meetings
every
day,
along
with
riding
 our
horses,
attending
the
mandatory
meetings
and
making
sure
our
horses
were
in
 top
condition
every
time
they
left
the
stall.
Every
competitor
who
chose
to
show
had
 to
attend
the
soundness
jog.
You
began
by
walking
up
to
a
set
of
9lowers
and
handing
 the
FEI
Veterinarian
your
horse’s
passport.
They’d
walk
around
your
horse
checking
 that
its
markings
matched
those
in
the
passport,
then
instruct
you
to
jog
to
another
 set
 of
 9lowers
 at
 the
 other
 end
 of
 the
 pathway.
 You’d
 then
 jog
 your
 horse
 back,
 stopping
at
the
set
of
9lowers
once
again.
The
vet
would
then
tell
you
if
your
horse
 passed
the
jog
or
if
you
had
to
re‐jog
the
next
morning.
This
is
where
the
medication
 rule
can
make
a
difference.
Most
horses
competing
at
that
level
are
older
and
more
 seasoned.
They
are
used
to
showing
on
a
little
medication
to
stay
sound
and
because
 they
weren’t
on
any
medication
previous
to
the
jog,
some
were
a
little
sore.
Problem
 is,
if
your
horse
doesn’t
pass
the
jog,
you
don’t
get
to
show.
 It
was
my
1st
year
competing
on
a
team.
You
have
to
think
of
the
whole
team
in
the
 decisions
 you
 make,
 rather
 than
 yourself
 as
 an
 individual.
 Also,
 watching
 the
 top
 riders
from
all
across
North
America
forces
you
to
raise
your
level
of
riding
if
you
 want
to
be
successful.
To
be
at
a
top
level
of
riding
consistently,
you
have
to
compete
 against
them
consistently.
 
 Even
though
I
didn’t
walk away
with
a
medal,
it
was
a great
learning
experience. I
was
able
to
jump
some of
the
biggest
courses
I’ve ever
jumped
and
ride VERY

technical,

but beautifully
designed
courses from
Olaf
Petersen
Jr.
I
will de9initely
be
returning
next year
with
a
medal
in
my sights. www.cfequestrian.com

Latest
word
in
The
Hay
Stall
is…. Miss
Pitchfork
has
discovered
that
some‐ one
was
caught
in
the
hay
stall
with
their
 breeches
down
(you
know
who
you
are).

 A
word
of
advice:
If
you’re
going
to
play
in
 the
hay
you
ought
to
watch
for
wandering
 grooms
 and
 other
 innocent
 witnesses.

 ‘Honorable
Mentions
for
Indiscretions’
go
 to
a
certain
trainer
who
is
rumored
to
be
 having
 an
 affair;
 the
 local
 wife
 and
 mother
 who’s
 been
 bouncing
 around
 barns
 (and
 hay
 stalls)
 all
 over
 the
 area‐
 but
 another
 matter
 is
 most
 perplexing:
 Are
 you
 an
 amateur
 or
 professional?
 
 I
 know
 the
 technical
 answer
 to
 this
 ques‐ tion
but
I’m
not
sure
you
do.

The
best
was
 saved
 for
 last
 and
 Miss
 Pitchfork
 poses
 the
 question:
 "Is
 it
 appropriate
 for
 a
 professional
 to
 ride
 in
 bikini
 tops
 and
 post
 nude
 photos
 of
 oneself
 hiding
 behind
 trees
 on
 the
 internet?"
 Ms
 Pitch‐ fork
 thinks
 not,
 let’s
 keep
 some
 class
 in
 the
sport.

On
a
lighter
and
more
positive
 note,
there’s
been
talk
about
an
Orlando
 area
trainer
thinking
of
movin’
into
some
 bigger
 ‘digs
 and
 while
 we’re
 on
 the
 subject
 of
 moving,
 congratulations
 to
 a
 successful
 young
 upcoming
 GP
 rider,
 trainer
and
reality
star
who
has
expanded
 the
 family
 business
 to
 points
 north
 for
 summer‐fall
 season.
 
 Other
 congratula‐ tions
and
best
wishes
to
a
local
GP
rider
 who
is
engaged
to
his
long‐time
girlfriend
 and
9inal
congratulations
to
a
local
trainer
 who
 decided
 to
 call
 the
 exterminator
 after
 realizing
 there
 were
 pests
 in
 the
 Orlando
 area.
 Thanks
 for
 saving
 others
 the
trouble! 
 Until
 next
 month,
 keep
 your
 hay
 stalls
 clean
and
if
that’s
a
problem,
write
to
Ms.
 Pitchfork
for
a
helping
hand! 7.

Opinions Homemade
and
Natural Remedies By
Courtney
Weinzimer

I
 can
 think
 of
 several
 retail
 horse
 care
 products
that
I
love,
but
in
the
pursuit
of
 saving
a
few
bucks
or
(more
importantly
 in
my
opinion)
seeking
alternatives
to
the
 potentially
harmful
additives
and
chemi‐ cals
 often
 found
 in
 many
 of
 the
 retail
 products,
 I
 have
 experimented
 with
 various
 ingredients
 and
 recipes
 recom‐ mended
by
others
who’ve
had
success
in
 their
 ongoing
 battles
 with
 issues
 like
 thrush,
 scratches,
 itchy
 skin
 and
 biting
 insects.

So
I
asked
several
people
to
share
 some
of
the
concoctions
they’ve
used
for
 this
 months
 Opinion
 column.
 
 Read
 and
 enjoy,
share
your
opinions
on
the
website
 and
 use
 common
 sense
 when
 deciding
 what
you
might
try.

For
example,
I
read
 several
 posts
 on
 an
 online
 forum
 that
 mentioned
 using
 Listerine
 as
 a
 brace
 instead
 of
 spending
 money
 on
 liniment
 (somewhat
 appealing
 I
 think).
 
 It’s
 also
 used
 to
 kill
 fungus
 (scratches,
 rain
 rot)
 which
 also
 seems
 logical.
 
 The
 part
 that
 disturbs
me
involves
applying
the
Lister‐ ine
to
freshly
scraped
open
sores.

OUCH!!

 Another
 poster
 was
 surprised
 to
 learn
 that
 there
 were
 applications
 for
 alcohol
 besides
 “applying
 to
 open
 wounds”….HELLO??!
 
 If
 you
 aren’t
 smart
 enough
 to
 9igure
 out
 the
 problem
 with
 that
 statement
 then
 please
 stay
 away
 from
 anyone
 or
 any
 living
 thing
 that
 might
 require
 medical
 attention‐
 better
 yet,
 next
 time
 you
 cut
 yourself
 shaving,
 pour
on
a
bit
of
alcohol
and
report
back
to
 us.
 I’ll
 start
 with
 a
 few
 applications
 using
 a
 product
 that
 I
 regularly
 use
 at
 home:

 organic
apple
cider
vinegar
(ACV).

If
you
 Google
 this
 product
 you’ll
 9ind
 multiple
 uses
and
cures
for
countless
health
issues
 in
 humans
 and
 animals.
 
 For
 thrush
 and
 other
 hoof
 fungal
 infections,
 soak
 or
 spray
the
acv
(full
strength
or
¼
c
to
1
gal
 water
as
a
soak)
onto
frog
and
sole.

The
 theory
 is
 that
 it
 makes
 area
 more
 acidic
 thus
 preventing
 growth
 of
 fungus
 and
 that
it
speeds
the
healing
process
of
other
 hoof
infections
or
bruises.

 I’ve
seen
lots
of
9ly
spray
recipes
and
I’m
 listing
two
that
I
found
recently.

The
9irst
 comes
 from
 the
 staff
 at
 Dressage
 Today
 and
 the
 second
 was
 recommended
 by
 a
 veterinarian.
 
 I’ve
 not
 tried
 either
 but
 plan
 to
 start
 with
 the
 latter
 as
 it’s
 comprised
 of
 far
 fewer
 ingredients.
 
 You
 can
most
likely
9ind
these
ingredients
at
a
 natural
food
store.

 Schaub
purchased
Sir
Dragon
at
the
sale
as
a
three‐year‐old
and
sold
him
in
this
year's
sale.
Sir
Dragon
showed
the
next
day
at
the
Finals
and
was
fourth
 overall
in
the
Small
Green
Pony
division. "I
want
people
to
be
assured
that
I
am
bringing
top‐quality,
hand‐picked
ponies
to
the
sale
for
others
to
purchase
and
go
on
with,"
Schaub
pointed
out.
"I
can
 only
show
so
many
ponies
and
give
them
their
best
shot.
This
year,
I
was
faced
with
eight
Small
Green
ponies
to
show
or
sell.
I
sold
six
in
the
sale
and
kept
 two.
These
are
ponies
that
I
9ind
through
the
years.
I
like
their
quality,
and
I
break
them
and
get
them
ready
for
others
to
compete
with
and
win.
I
think
the
 proof
is
in
the
pudding." 
 Regarding
this
year's
sale,
Schaub
mentioned,
"The
ponies
all
went
to
great
new
owners
where
I
thought
they
had
a
chance
to
be
successful.
While
prices
 were
down
a
bit,
I
felt
that
the
long
term
advantage
of
selling
them
into
good
places
will
bene9it
me
for
years
to
come."

 along
 some

 regarding

“Although
 we

 it

 my
 attention
 that
 this

Please
be

reward for

killings/mutilations
are
on

in
Miami‐Dade
(and

counties.
This
 is
an
on‐going
problem
that
has
spiked
in
recent
months.
Authorities
are
investigating
 over
 a
 dozen
 horse
 killings
 that
 have
 been
 reported
 since
 June
 2009
 in
 which
 the
 animals
appear
to
have
been
butchered
for
their
meat.

It
is
believed
that
the
horse
 meat
is
being
sold
on
the
black
market
for
$20/lb.
and
higher.

Buying
or
selling
horse
 meat
is
illegal
in
South
Florida.

The
illegally
butchered
animals
were
given
steroids,
 tranquilizers,
and
antibiotics
on
a
regular
basis
so
their
meat
is
toxic

Health
Tips Think
you’re
cooling
that
horse
by
spraying
or
sponging
with
water?
 In
humid
air
(FL
summers),
hosing
or
sponging
with
cold
water
won’t
have
the
cooling
 effect
you’d
think
because
the
water
stays
on
the
skin
(rather
than
evaporating)
and
 actually
heats
up
while
forming
an
insulating
layer
that
will
slow
the
cooling
process.

 To
 make
 hosing
 or
 sponging
 a
 more
 effective
 cooling
 aid,
 scrape
 the
 excess
 water
 immediately
and
if
necessary,
repeat
the
process
until
the
water
no
longer
feels
like
it
 heats
up
on
the
body.

*A
good
place
to
test:
the
belly.

While
rinsing,
use
your
free
hand
 as
a
sweat
scraper
to
determine
whether
the
water’s
still
being
heated
by
the
horse’s
 body
 temperature.
 
 Adding
 a
 small
 amount
 of
 alcohol
 to
 bath
 water
 or
 mixed
 with
 water
in
a
spray
bottle
can
help
to
cool
and
make
water
evaporate
more
quickly.

 Is
it
necessary
to
feed
electrolyte
supplements?
 Depends
 who
 you
 ask
 but
 here’s
 a
 thought:
 
 The
 average
 horse
 probably
 gets
 an
 adequate
 supply
 of
 balanced
 vitamins
 and
 minerals
 (electrolytes
 included)
 through
 good
forage
and
a
“commercially
formulated”
feed
but
if
you’re
lucky
enough
to
have
an
 “easy
 keeper”
 that
 requires
 5‐6
 lbs/day
 and
 the
 recommended
 amount
 is
 10,
 your
 horse
 could
 be
 coming
 up
 short
 in
 the
 daily
 requirement
 of
 vitamins
 and
 minerals.

 Another
point
to
consider
is
that
we
live
in
a
hot
&
humid
climate
that
can
produce
a
 hot,
 sweaty
 horse
 even
 before
 you
 can
 9inish
 tacking
 up
 for
 exercise.
 
 Horses
 lose
 electrolytes
 when
 they
 sweat
 and
 water
 alone
 doesn’t
 compensate
 or
 replenish
 lost
 electrolytes,
so
you
might
consider
an
electrolyte
supplement
when
the
situation
calls
 for
it.

You
might
even
consider
feeding
a
daily
supplement
during
the
hottest
months
 of
 the
 year,
 especially
 for
 horses
 in
 training
 (40‐90
 minutes
 that
 produces
 sweating
 along
neck,
chest
and/or
sides).

Remember,
electrolytes
do
help
create
thirst
but
that’s
 not
the
sole
purpose.

It’s
important
to
keep
the
electrolyte
balance
intact,
and
that
can
 mean
 supplementing.
 
 There
 are
 multiple
 inexpensive
 options
 available
 including
 simple
free‐choice
mineralized
salt
blocks
to
feed/water
additives
and
oral
pastes.

Quest
for
WEG
2010 By
Courtney
Weinzimer The
Games
are
over
a
year
away
but
there’s
at
least
one
strong
eventing
candidate
right
here
in
Central
Florida.
Read
the
chronicles
 of
Hilda
Donahue,
an
Irish
rider
that
co‐owns
Ashmore
Equestrian
Center
in
Apopka
with
André
Merlet
as
she
prepares
for
quali9i‐ cation.

She
has
competed
at
many
of
the
world’s
most
prestigious
events
including
Rolex‐
Kentucky,
Burghley,
England,
Adelaide,
 Australia
and
the
World
Cup
Final
in
Pau,
France.
She
was
long‐listed
for
the
Athens
Olympics
and
short‐listed
for
the
WEG
in
2002.

 Look

new
video

Hilda’s
training

becomes
 clearer.



Chronicles
of
Hilda
Donahue
&
Extravagance
­
Eventing July
31,
2009
­
Location:
Enroute
to
O’Connor
Riding
Facility
in
Middleburg,
VA •
Summer
training
is
in
session.
Extravagance
departed
Ashmore
on
July
30
with
his
pal,
Godsend
(horses
generally
travel
better
with
 company).
Both
arrived
safely
in
North
Carolina
and
enjoyed
their
overnight
stay
at
the
horse
hotel.
The
boys
had
the
luxury
suite...a
 large
grassy
paddock
(just
like
home),
and
bran
mash
topped
with
apples
(what
more
could
they
want).
•
It
is
a
lot
of
work
travelling
 with
 our
 equine
 partners...we
 double
 up
 on
 omeprazole,
 then
 we
 soak
 their
 hay,
 reduce
 their
 grain
 and
 add
 mashes
 while
 taking
 temperatures
regularly.
During
refueling,
we
add
molasses
to
their
water
and
check
as
the
two
biggest
concerns
when
shipping
long
 distances
is
air6low
and
hydration. August
1,
2009
­
Location:
O’Connor
Riding
Facility
in
Middleburg,
VA After
a
two
day
journey
with
an
overnight
in
North
Carolina,
the
horses
arrived
at
the
O’Connors
happy
and
well
today.
We
did
ground
 work
 and
 went
 out
 on
 a
 short
 hack
 around
 the
 beautiful
 property.
 My
 6irst
 lesson
 is
 at
 noon.
 •
 Dressage
 lessons
 this
 afternoon­ ­contact...more
contact...straightness...be
straighter!
It
is
very
hot
but
very
fun,
although
Extravagance
really
wants
to
jump.
We
have
a
 7:30am
dressage
lesson
tomorrow
then
jumping
in
the
afternoon.
Hope
that
everyone
at
Ashmore
is
riding
with
contact
and
keeping
 their
horse
straight! August
2,
2009
­
Location:
O’Connor
Riding
Facility
in
Middleburg,
VA The
second
day
was
all
about
Extravagance!
We
had
an
easy
dressage
school
in
the
morning
and
then
(6inally!)
jumping.
Karen
called
 me
“the
magician”
when
it
came
to
jumping.
This
is
quite
a
compliment
coming
from
such
a
achieved
person
such
as
Karen.
•
Karen
is
 astounded
about
Extravagance’s
improvement
with
the
jumping
and
I
am
so
proud.
Tomorrow
is
more
dressage. August
3,
2009
­
Location:
O’Connor
Riding
Facility
in
Middleburg,
VA Dressage
AGAIN.
Be
6irmer­­I
tend
to
want
a
light,
soft
feel...”this
is
not
a
democracy.
It
is
a
dictatorship”,
says
Karen.
I
am
told
to
be
more
 con6ident
and
demanding.
Karen
insists
that
I
know
what
I
am
doing
and
need
to
succeed. August
3,
2009
­
Location:
O’Connor
Riding
Facility
in
Middleburg,
VA Cross
country
morning
involved
Karen
approving
of
my
galloping
position,
Extravagance’s
adjust
ability,
safety,
and
successfully
negoti­ ating
a
variety
of
cross
country
fences
in
a
small
area...not
unlike
Ashmore.
It
was
refreshing
to
know
that
Karen
does
not
school
over
 large
cross
country
fences.
Nothing
was
larger
than
3’3”
(we
compete
at
4’3”).
•
Karen
indicated
that
Pau
4*
was
well
within
our
grasp,
 but
risky.
She
cautions
that
it
possess
risks
(of
course
any
4*
involves
risks)!
Should
we
not
compete
we
will
have
a
tough
time
regaining
 the
selector’s
attention.
If
we
prove
that
a
4*
is
within
our
capabilities,
we
will
be
a
step
ahead
at
the
onset
of
2010.
Karen
believes
we
 could
be
competitive
at
Rolex
2010.
However,
waiting
to
do
the
4*
at
Rolex
puts
a
lot
of
pressure
on
our
Rolex
performance­­should
Rolex
 not
happen
we
have
missed
our
chance!
•
Karen
warned
me
that
6inally
the
Irish
have
a
strong
group
of
many
quali6ied
candidates.
I
do
 have
experience
at
the
4*
level
in
my
favor.
For
me
this
is
greater
incentive
to
be
better­­6inally
something
I
can
focus
on,
thanks
to
the
 great
support
from
several
persons. August
5,
2009
­
Location:
O’Connor
Riding
Facility
in
Middleburg,
VA Sadly
we
depart
today
but
we
do
intend
to
return!
Today
we
did
a
little
cross
country...
Extravagance
was
good
but
he
is
so
used
to
taking
 care
of
things
for
himself
(not
a
bad
trait),
and
Karen
insisted
that
he
be
more
attentive
to
me.
We
jumped
nothing
larger
than
prelimi­ nary,
 but
 some
 technical
 questions.
 •
 Show
 jumping
 with
 Extravagance
 was
 somewhat
 interesting.
 Karen,
 knowing
 his
 history
 and
 having
witnessed
some
impressive
rounds
last
season,
called
me
the
jumping
“magician”.
Of
course
we
worked
on
helping
Extravagance
 understand
that
he
needs
to
stay
round
to
every
fence­­cetrainly
he
performed
better
when
round­it
needs
to
become
his
normal
way
of
 going.
•
We
are
staying
over
night
at
a
horse
hotel
in
North
Carolina
so
the
horses
have
an
easier
trip
and
then
an
eight
hour
journey
 back
to
Ashmore.
We
return
to
Ashmore
tomorrow
and
off
to
a
dressage
show
on
Saturday. www.cfequestrian.com
