    Bye for now!!

    Hi Mary

    I did not train with Coralie. I have never heard of her. When I went to Portugal I trained with the "third" principal rider in the "Escola Portuguesa Arte Equestre". He has a riding school in Lisbon as well as a breeding farm in north of Portugal. I rode his stallions. I love the Lusitano/Andalusian breed of horse. They are the horses I feel most comfortable riding.

    Up here in Canada I am coached by a young rider.

    Hi Mary,
    I was in W Palm beach, but just got back a few hours ago. I have to say, I was not looking forward to leaving that gorgeous weather. I'll try to come down again in Feb.
    thank you so much for your positive feedback on the community! It is quite a bit to be looking after, but I absolutely love working on it. I am so glad you will be inviting some friends to join - word of mouth is our best advertisement!
    Off to unpack...
