Since last I wrote...

Sorry it has been so long, but I have been busy! The book is coming along. Benjamin, Cooper, Gitano are final drafted, Baretta and Fresno are in the process. Plus, several wonderful "crew" and I were getting Sailor ready for his first carriage show. OH. WOW. We came in 2nd of 12 in our first class! And 4th in the Open Pleasure class. Next time we will try timed cones. If you are reading this and rode any of the above horses, also Dreamer, who is next, do let me know at annecenti@juno .com  Your comments are WELCOME.The only downside to so much writing is that I may need to do more standing up!

How cool to visit a former student, now instructor in her own right

Lindsay Long (just engaged, FYI) volunteered to help distribute my books to venues in the N. CA area. I was her first riding instuctor:  she was 7 years old. She went on to pony club and never gave up her dream. I was able to visit her lovely facility at Hidden Valley Ranch, in Carmel Valley with Pia, Midnight 2, and Lacey as school horses. She had a guest instructor as a birthday surprise for one of her students: Bea de Gracia. I met Derek and Bea when they ran Pebble Beach Equestrian Center. Lindsay is in the process of organizing a club house with bunks for summer camps. I recommend it.  She has her own website, Lindsayslessons.com. I will learn how to post pictures,too, maybe! We have stayed in touch all these years, and I could not be prouder of her.
