| I had the opportunity to go to West Springfield, Massachusetts this year to attend the Equine Affaire. I went down with Deanna and met our friend Diane in Connecticut. We had a great weekend looking through all the vendors and seeing the dressage clinics. Dr. Cesar Parra was quite entertaining as a clinician and we enjoyed watching his sessions. We were able to get tickets last minute to the Fantasia event on Friday night. I was very excited to see it because I have been involved in our Equestrian Theater for over 10 years. Some of the numbers were very creative and interesting. I thought the Canadian Cowgirls Drill Team was very well done and I learned a few new moves from them to try in our theater. The vaulting was entertaining and I liked the girl that rode her Quarter Horse without a saddle and bridle doing her reining pattern to music. I am definitely going to go next year and I also hope to perform with my horse in the near future. |
