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.
