Yes, I knew about the fire and the problems that complicated that whole situation. Too bad really.Hope Francis is happily married and enjoys B.C. Last I saw her (about 3 summers ago, she came to Toronto) she was involved in a stable/riding school, hope that worked out for her. I actually just got back from Ontario , I saw Lex, she had just gotten back from Nassau - we had dinner together with a few old friends. She seems well, she has a new horse and Austin seems happy in his new environment... Hope you're having a good New Year. It is a blizzard here. The plows came this morning and the drifts from my house to the barn are already 4ft. It is not a short walk and mostly downhill ;which is okay going to the barn, but not so much fun coming back!..

Too much is right... I know Rob very well, he and Lexy had the farm in Alma when I had my farm in Grand Valley. He and my ex got along very well. Lexy is a very good friend of mine and has been for many years(I worked for she and Bob Sharpe when the were 1st married)in the 80's before they had their 1st son, Alexander.. ..I worked for a vet out of Paiemonts when they first opened-Randy Scarrow(they called him Dr. Milkshake. John Burns was, I believe one of his clients then. I also worked for Mary Bell(more recently).The name Louise Annette sounds farmiliar but I cannot put a face to it. Is your husband still friends with Rob? How is Francis doing?

I think it is very cool that you groomed standardbred race horses. Being from Campbellville,a lot of my good friends are involved with standardbreds. I was a veterinary assistant at Mohawk - when standardbreds were still racing at Greenwood (a yr. or 2 ago)-so I know alot of the trainers.Blair Burgess's daughters rode with Alexya Solomon when I worked for her. I have a lot of respect for standarbreds as a breed- they work so hard and I have no idea how they do what they do! They are very strong,a thoroughbred would never hold up!

I have never been to Nova Scotia before , I came out here with some show horses I was working with in Ontario . While I was out here a friend of mine told me about this job. I met the people and loved what they were doing- and here I am. Scout came with me of course , and we are here together. (I would never leave home without him). I have been here since Nov.2006-just alittle over a year and so far am enjoying it. Does the name Camilla Templeton mean anything to you? She rode at Foxcroft many years ago and leased a horse from me at about that time.

I believe Jane's horse is either a Freisian or a Freisian cross.
Isn't he gorgeous!

Hi Fiona - I read your 'about me' and had to respond - I too started riding at a young age and groomed Standardbreds as a young adult! Though I no longer work at the racetrack - I have taken in a retired Standardbred and am presently looking for another. I don't ride competitively - though I would LOVE to. I have added you as a friend - I hope you don't mind!
