Hello Father Mac,

I'm sorry that I did not get the chance to get to know you better at Aachen and I did not properly introduce myself to you. Under the circumstance, I was a bit distracted by my big horse and rider in the ring and apprehensive by their performance. But now, all said and done, settled back in the states, my name is Jen Mandracia and I am the groom for Dr. Cesar Parra.

I want to thank you for your encouragement and positive feed back after the ride. Galant and Cesar went out there and tried their best against the best in the world. It was a honor to even be there, let alone be able to work behind the scenes with Cesar's horse.

When I saw your article, which I would of not seen had not one of our part time helpers brought in, I was shocked, amazed, and grateful. I can't thank you enough for you kind words, in fact, I can't thank you enough on behalf of all the hard working grooms at WEG.

I hope in the future we will have more time to talk! Thanks again and I enjoyed reading your article,

Jen Mandracia
