Okey so I’ve only posted a HorseGirlTV PR here one other time but this is equally as exciting as the show winning the USEF Best Broadcast Media Pegasus Award! My mare and I are going to train with Anky! Check it out!!!

HorseGirlTV’s Angelea To Train In Holland With Anky van Grunsven


HUBERT, Nc June 22, 2009 Tune in. Tack up. is taking it to the next level with a ramped up shooting schedule. HorseGirlTV’s production crew has been working overtime shooting the series so its host, Angelea Kelly and her Contucci mare Carrara, could fly to The Netherlands this fall to train with the best rider in the world, Anky van Grunsven at her stable in Erp. Ever the maven, Angelea has been given a unique opportunity as a high tech working student contributing her decade of IT experience to Anky’s online community, HorsUs (http://horsus.ning.com/).

“It’s an incredible opportunity to not only train with the absolute best and experience life in Holland but an honor to be able to work with the HorsUs team. Everything Sjef and Anky produce, whether it be horses, apparel or online technologies it is always top quality so I’m excited to be part of such an all encompassing, forward thinking project as HorsUs,” Angelea states. Grinning she adds, “There’s lots of developing components of HorsUs I’m not able to talk about right now but having worked with online technologies and social networking since 1998 I can certainly tell you HorsUs will fast become the ‘it’ place online for horse enthusiast from all walks of life.”

HorseGirlTV will continue to launch its series the 1st and 15th of every month but its shooting schedule will slow in the absence of the shows host. Maintaining its focus on the hi tech horse world, HorseGirlTV will be shooting a webisode on location in Erp at the HorsUs offices giving viewers a sneak peak of what it takes to produce such a high scale project. Moreover as a web celebrity, Angelea will be in great company as HorsUs will be host to many ambassadors of the sport like Anky van Grunsven, Tim Lips (2008 Ranked 3rd at Aachen in Eventing), Jeroen Dubbeldam (Olympic Show Jumping Champion of 2000) , Ijsbrand Chardon (Multiple World Champion 4-In-Hand-Driving) with many American ambassadors in the line up too.

“I am very happy Angelea is going to work with us on this project for me. We in Erp are glad to have her networking expertise,” commented Sjef Janssen.

It’s official, Zita is a woman (for a grown female dog!). Now we have two dogs in diapers, one that is paralyzed and the other having her period. Zoinks! Needless to say, Zita will be having her vet date scheduled ASAP. If having two dogs in diapers is this much trouble, I could only imagine what two kids in diapers would be like. Woah! I shudder the thought!

Regardless, this picture was just too cute of them both!

So I received this email last night with 4 pictures attached. Each picture had a caption and it was too cute not to post. This was after a long day of getting a horse settled at the farm and dealing with some icky North Carolina rain, rain, and more rain. 🙁 But hey… it rained ALL day yesterday and look how quickly it drained away! We have fabulous earth here! 🙂

HorseGirlTV was reviewed by a great new blogger who’s focusing (or so it seems thus far) on reviewing genre specific podcasts. Of course the blogger thought HorseGirlTV the best of them all! Yah! So if you guys have time, you should check out this new blog as you might learn some more about other types of podcast to find interesting!

In starting this post I’ve, for the first time, wondered when do you start calling someone a friend instead of a colleague. It was with these last emails that I smiled when I moved Taber to my friend mailbox rather than colleague. I think it was my simple happiness for his iPhone app creation, happiness for a friend that did it.

Well all that babbling aside. My friend Taber (who’s a totally amazing designer BTW) created his first iPhone app and I actually bought my first iPhone app for a small .99! It’s adorable and functional all at the same time. Check out some iPhone screen shots below and you can buy it online at http://tinyurl.com/countsheep

To say I had a splendid time with the Draper Equine Therapy folks is an understatement of epic proportions! Kristin and Kat were AWESOME!!! They convinced me we should start the morning shoot with Waffle House instead of traditional craft services so we ventured out into the culturally sterile, Jacksonville. My, my what eclectic folks we have in NC!



Of course what would breakfast be without a side of mayo! Yes. I did try it but I have to say I’m not a fan of mayo with my breakfast egg sandwich. I’m a coffee snob but everyone once and a while I do enjoy a cup of truck stop love watered down morning Joe!



On to the shoot which we were so wrapped up in convo and setting shots that we didn’t do any production promo picts so… you’ll just have to wait for the webisode to launch to see the interview!

But then there was the tourist trip to seaside Swansboro for a late lunch, ice cream adventure and looking at all the trinkets you could possibly want. For those of you that don’t know, I’m a minimalist so shop after shop of trinkets and chotskis was my equivalent to a living hell on earth! BUT, I did tag along and thoroughly enjoyed Kat’s modeling ability for the über odd gift shop items.



All in all it was one of my more favorite connections with the shows guests! I love all my interviews but these gals were a complete hoot not to mention the technology behind their products is way cool and progressive!!

Finally, here’s a cute snap of Kristin and Kat aboard the ski chair in quaint Swansboro! Thanks for coming ladies! I had a blast and you should definitely come back if you can swing it!!! Next time tho, bring monkey and we’ll adorn him with some HorseGirlTV gear!
