Carrara Loves Her Window

October 25, 2009

While Carrara doesn’t get the extensive turn out opportunities afforded to her at my stable stateside in North Carolina, she does have a nice large window looking out on Anky’s outdoor (which is currently down while construction is going on) but beyond this she does get to watch the horses in the fields and see … Read More

Equine Elite Auction In Weerts, The Netherlands!

October 24, 2009

Wow! What a Saturday night!?! I met an awesome new person whom I completely admire his passion for bringing up youth in the sport of dressage and driving horses to the underprivleged intercity kids and so many more reasons like he’s just a wickedly funny Brit, Mr. Dane Rawlins.

My New Favorite German, Peter Fox And His Alles Neu

October 20, 2009

So I don’t have/watch TV stateside but I’ve been watching, actually listening in the background, to some MTV here and discovered my favorite German band. He’s kinda rapper, kinda singer but definite showman with nice orchestration (love the strings!!!) and his top hit right now has some rocking drumline beats! You can’t buy it on … Read More

The Grass Is Greener When You’re Grazing With Anky’s Bonfire!

October 17, 2009

So Bonfire actually grazed in the same turn out as two cute shetland ponies but I do get to turn Carrara out for a bit on the occasion and it’s very neat for me to see her grazing on the same pastures as the amazing Bonfire!

Anky’s First International Reining Competition

October 16, 2009

This evening was Anky’s first international reining competition and I was personally amazed at how much her spins had improved since her first reining competition only one month ago. It was really nice to watch the reiners go. I met a very nice Canadian judge and talked about the AQHA and youth riding a bit. … Read More

The Lovely Folks At The Tack Factory At Stal Anky van Grunsven!

October 14, 2009

I’m always greeted with a smile and hello from the great folks at The Tack Factory. Currently their offices are located in this temporary building while the construction is going on but the new offices at the front of the indoor arena appear to be coming along quite nice and sound like they will certainly … Read More

It’s A Bird. It’s A Plane. No… It’s A Crane!

October 12, 2009

There’s tons of building activity going on at Stal Anky and this crane was working today to put more of the arena roof on. It’s great practice for showing and bomb proofing your horse! Again, again, again… such a great lesson today with Anky and Carrara. It’s really starting to gel now. I’m getting a … Read More
