Meg Sleeper Sept 24 WEG Update

Sept 24

The cliff notes for today would be: exhausting day was spent in Kentucky!!! We packed up the trucks early so that we wouldn’t need to go back to the hotel to check out. While we were packing, it was really rather a nice diversion to watch Amelia, the 6 week old donkey filly, harassing one of her sheep. This baby donkey, who is not much bigger than a sheep herself, lives with her mother and a flock of sheep in a paddock across from the building in which we have been staying. She is… Continue

Canadian WEG Dressage Team Training Camp Update Sept 20!

Hi Everyone!

Today was a quiet day at the barn so a few of us headed over to the WEG site to set up the Canadian stalls. We didn't have many "decorations" in the Canadian team trunks, so headed over to Dollar Tree to pick up anything red and white we could find. Robert also wanted us to have flowers, so we then headed over to a nursery to find something. Little did we know September isn't the best time to find flowers. We found some red and white pansies, and…
