I think one of the horses was Cigar. Does that make sense? She actually went to see the caves and loved it. She said the horse farms are just something incredible to see.

My sister was in Tennessee last summer and said it was really a beautiful place to visit. She also said the the southern Hospitality was amazing. She said that whenever she was just walking by an inn or really anywhere, if there were people on the porch having tea, they just invited her over to sit and have (iced?) tea and goodies! She's still talking about it!

A Bit About Me and my Horse(s): I've been in the horse business for 30 years. Having experience with show honors, jumpers, racehorses, breeding and for the last 20 years with eventing. The last 14 years I owned and managed Hillview Farm in Thompson's Station Tennessee. I have competed through intermediate on several horses and have also coached my students through the levels.
In September 2006 I had a bad fall while competing resulting in a spinal cord injury. I'm now confined to a wheelchair but very interested in continuing my involvement with the horse world. Teaching is still something I really enjoy and hope to do more of.
