Absolute Addiction- "The Star" of the
2012 Open House
Back at my open house in November, I did a riding demo with Gus for the guests. I was a little unsure about how he was going to act in front of all the people and cameras, as it was out of his normal routine. However, once again, Gus proved he is maturing nicely as he was a star and went around like a pro!

Saying Goodbye to a Dear Friend
Most recently, I had to make the hard and painful decision to say goodbye to one of my dearest companions, A Normal Fling, aka Jeffrey. He was a wonderful horse and I am truly lucky to have had him in my life.
Rest in peace Jeffrey, you will always be loved and never forgotten!
A Normal Fling 1/1/98-12/8/12
Special thanks to Dr. Kostinas and Spurlock Equine Associates, for taking great care of Jeffrey up until the end.

Aiken, SC Bound
Looking to continue your horse's training throughout the winter months? Don't forget I will soon be heading down to Aiken, South Carolina for the month of February, and possibly until Southern Pines H.T. in early March. I still have a few spots available for training horses, so if you are interested, please contact me. They're predicting a harsh winter for the East Coast, so now is the time to book a spot for your horse and continue training through the winter months!
