Welcome to my blog

I have spent my life dreaming... dreaming about horses and being able to connect with these beautiful creatures. While life circumstances have often interfered and kept me from pursuing my dream, my passion never waned. So this blog is about following my dream and the great adventures I have along the way. I am dedicating it to my true love Indigo (aka Blu) a 16.3H Oldenburg gelding who is trained through I-2.

Good bye to an old friend...



One of Blu's first friends in MA was a beautiful Hannoverian mare named Flaine. She was a beauty with PSG training. Most of all she was the kind and faithful partner for my friend Sandra. No matter what she was asked she was cool calm and collected. She cared for my friend and my friend adored her. She spent 10 of her 18 years with Sandra and was pampered like she deserved to be. While Flaine gave her all, there was also a steep price for Sandra to pay. Flaine had an ongoing gastro intestinal disorder that caused frequent colic episodes, special diets and supplements and multiple surgeries. Flaine finally succumbed with dignity this past weekend and was laid to rest in the bucolic fields of Orchard Hills Equestrian Center. She was 18 years old.

Saying good-bye is not easy but it is a reminder of just how lucky we are each and every day to share our lives with such wonderful giving and devoted creatures. Good-bye Ms. Flaine. You will never be forgotten. Your gifts live on!
