24.01.2022 We shall never forget all those who served, including our four legged friends

24.01.2022 Puts it in perspective doesn’t it!

21.01.2022 Sadly today we say ‘good bye’ to a beautiful woman and an inspiration to my life. Nicole Kullen came into our life as a young woman who contracted Meningococca...l in her late teens. Prior to getting sick she enjoyed endurance riding. The disease had caused her to loose her lower legs and the doctors wanted to take her arms as well. But her beautiful mum, Margaret wouldn’t let them. So what remain of her arms was bone with no muscle as it had been eaten by the disease and two horribly twisted hands. Nicole was determined to ride again and contacted us. She was determined to live her life to the fullest. We found her a nice quarter horse and she began her dream to compete at the Olympic Games. Steve and I took Nicole to her first competition. We put her legs on. Dressed her in her dressage gear and off we went. I was so overwhelmed when we got to the Comp to see all these amazing para riders and so proud of Nicole. Over the years she did not give up her dream to compete. She competed in 2007 at the World Para equestrian championships and won silver and Bronze. Then she rode her own horse, Nikshar Nomination, at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and finally achieved her dream. She also rode at WEG in Kentucky In 2010 she was the Para equestrian of the Year. She was also a keen breeder of Arabian horses and showed her Arabian stallion and miniatures in hand beside her wheelchair. And recently took up shooting. But over the years Nicole’s body was severely effected by the disease. Daily,She had to be hooked up to various machines to keep her organs going. Her beautiful Mother Margaret was her full time carer and she would also be her nurse operating all the equipment. The past years have been very trying for Nicole. With countless operations, she used to ask for our prayers to get her through. She had a strong will and a good community to will her on. But sadly last week she lost her battle. A battle well fought. Fly with the Angels Nicole. You touched so many peoples lives. You were loved and admired by so many. Beautiful girl. You really achieved your dreams.

12.01.2022 A perfectly prancing pony...

11.01.2022 To Hilary Johnson and Augie of Paradise, Calif.- I just wanted to let you know that the three Redding law enforcement officers and I kept our promise. I met Hi...llary and Augie in a shopping center parking lot on the afternoon of Nov. 8th. She had just escaped the flames of the Camp Fire that burned through Paradise, CA with just the clothes on her back, riding Augie to a safe place. Hillary lost her home and everything to the fire. As she stood watching the impending movement of the fire with other locals residents of Paradise, law enforcement were going around encouraging all of us to leave, as the flames were just burning across the street. While standing in the lot, Hillary in tears walked passed me. I stopped her to ask what was going on. She had made the decision to set Augie free since there was no transport for him and she could not just leave him tied up in the lot. As concern grew three Redding officers who had rescued dogs left behind in abandoned homes, talked her out of this decision. They were not going to let this happenas instantly a brainstorming session started on how to get Augie a ride. Aided with the help of locals, they were directed to a U Haul location where they might be able to commander a trailer, . So off they went, setting off on a quest to save Augie. So Hillary said her goodbyes, Can't tell you how hard it was to watch that, And yes I kept my camera at my side. I promised her that I would stay as long as I could, to then cut Augie loose before the fire took over the area, as she and the other residents prepared to drive off to safety, with Augie tied to a shopping cart cage moved to an opening in the lot. So there we were, Augie and I, standing in a parking lot ALONE with flames visible in the near distance, smoke turning day into night. Hoping for the officers to have found a trailer. Funny what goes through your mind when you’re standing with a horse with hell surrounding you I needed a plan now for myselfhow long do I stay? Cut him loose and head for safety or walk Augie next to my car as far as I could if needed or wait and see if the flames pass around us. So I put a blinking red LED light I use during protest on him so he could be seen in the darkness of the choking smoke if I did let him run. I think it was about 15 - 20 minutes after she had left, and all that passed were police and fire vehicles racing by. Smoke continued to thickened darken the skies when a truck with a utility trailed drove near. I was thinking it was a local looking for a safe place, but no, it was those three Redding officers!!! Can't tell you how I felt seeing them. With smiles on their faces, seeing we were still there. They spent no time getting the trailer opened, with not much headroom or space in general, since there was a quad in the trailer too. It took a little bit of coaxing to get him into the trailer. About 5-10 minutes. Augie was amazingly calm and did what he needed to do. Now it was time to leave, with three trucks, one with a utility trailer and myself. We convoyed through fire lined streets of Paradise where I left them to continue to safety as I went back to work. From there, my story ends with my time with Augie, I have no idea if Hillary was reunited with him. But I know I did the right thing. So if anyone from the Paradise area who knows Hillary Johnson, please forward this story. I know she has nothing, not even a phone, which was lost in the fire. I would love to hear her story of her and Augie together. My heart goes out to all who lost everything in the Camp Fire. Copyright EPA Photos/Peter DaSilva NOT FOR PROFESSIONAL USE.

02.01.2022 Ingrid Klimke Masterclass: When I see a new pupil, I start with the seat, it is the most important thing. You work on it all your life, I promise I’m working o...n mine. This horse looks longer behind the saddle, so you have to try and have her up in front, two thirds in front of the saddle sit, close your leg and move her out. If she comes short again, do half halts in every corner, before every movement. http://www.horsemagazine.com//ingrid-klimke-saddleworld-m/ See more
