2022 Notes
Very sadly, my new Equitation/Talent Search horse contracted EHV-1, which went EHM neurological. (Luckily, he made it through and is doing ok.) I was super lucky when Sunnybrook Elite Riding Club asked me to travel to shows with them to prep, ticket and warm-up up to 10 ponies and horses a day for 8-10 weeks at A shows in CA, KY and NY. Best decision ever!
