- I really wasn't going to post because of how much money each
- posting costs, but I'm too egocentric to resist any longer!
-
- First, everyone who has a horse boarded at a barn near a major
- road should get the town to post HORSECROSSING signs. They are
- effective in slowing cars down when there is actually a horse
- around, and they are attractive and good advertisement, too.
-
- Now: I was born in Germany and rode there 'till I was 12, then
- I rode in Greece until age 17, and have been riding in California
- and Massachusetts since, being 29 years old. It has always been
- dressage for me, with bits of bareback riding, Western, and
- driving thrown in. I've been riding school horses, leasing,
- and training other people's horses, and I've worked at many
- riding vacation places in summers in Europe and in the US.
-
- I am finally an assistant professor in chemistry at Smith
- College in the middle of Massachusetts, and I've been able to
- save up for my own superhorse, Lester. Lester is a 16.2
- chestnut Hannoveraner who'll be 4 in May, and who'll be doing
- FEI level dressage when he grows up, if I don't ruin him on
- the way. No doubt he could also excel in show jumping or
- eventing, like his mother's sire and sire, respectively.
- I've had him and he's been under saddle for 7 months.
-
- It's really nice to have this net and to get to know all you
- people. I do wish there were more posts from "Europe and
- the World", however.
