Somewhere Over The Ocean

Monday, June 24, 2002 - As we travel towards Amsterdam, the full moon is reflecting on the clouds below. I finally get 8 hours to sit in one place and reflect on the past few weeks as we head for Europe. We will be covering the 2002 CHIO Aachen the first week, and then visit friends and farms for some horse shopping for HorsesDaily Horsemarket the second week

On The Road, and On the Scene
It has been a busy but exciting month, beginning in Louisiana at Serenity Farms for Dressage Across the Lake, managed by Betsy Gosling, and a side trip to New Orleans. Famous for great cuisine, our "Best Bet" is the Mufulatta, a New Orleans style sub sandwich, from Central Grocery near the Farmer's Market.

Then it was off to the Virginia Dressage Association's Celebrity Freestyle, in Keswick, Virginia. Real celebrities, with Sissy Spacek, the "judge" for Grand Prix, whose job was to judge each, ride on "impact". We had a ball, covering this fun evening, where the VADA raised over $40,000 for the Christopher Reeve Foundation.
