Thank you for visiting my web-page.  I hope you enjoy it. We are continually making changes in an effort to make this site as current as possible. 
    Please check out the new WYLDE COLLECTION line of tack at Dover Saddlery's website www.doversaddlery.com with all types of leather goods for training and showing. I have developed this line of tack based on my experiences both here in Europe and from my many years spent on the US circuit. 

    I want to welcome our new corporate sponsor, Ab Initio , a computer sofware company based in the States.  Check out their web-site on my links/sponsors page.

   We have decided to stay in Europe this winter and do some of the indoor shows. We have a lot of horses in training now and I also have some horses to show. I am very happy to have two horses from Royne Zetterman as well as a very nice 8 yo from Belgium called Sanctos van het Gravenhof. It has been fun to do some shows with these horses.  

     Jessica, David, Yusuf and I will all be showing together during the next few months, and Orlando Izzo and Benedetta Ganassini will be joining us this spring. I have just accepted two new students who I will be writing about in my next post.

   On the 8th to the 10th of January I was very honored to be involved with the Emerging Athlete Program. The Finals were held at Julie Winkel's ranch in Reno, Nevada where the 12 finalists from the various clinics during the year met for this final clinic and competition. I tought the finalists for two days and then on the third day we ran a mini Nations Cup type competition where the riders were asked to compete over a difficult course. We awarded two overall winners, Richard Neal and Carly Anthony. Check out the Emerging Athletes Program through the USHJA website. It is a great program developped by Melanie Smith Taylor.  I was very happy to have included Dover Saddlery as a main sponsor of the Finals and I know Dover was very enthusiastic to support such a great program.
