Well, I'm having massive withdrawal, missing Florida right now!!!!! I'm also quite jealous of all the folks from around here that are heading down! Hope everyone down there has a wonderful season. On that note, I wanted to let everyone in Florida know about my two reps that will be at some shows this year. Sindra Ridge is now available to do measuring and consultation for our line of LaMundial boots. If anyone needs to reach her for an appointment, please contact Jo at mobilehrs@AOL.com and I'll put you in touch. Our other rep is Eline Eckroth. She has fabric samples and is measuring for our custom coats. We are now doing the cropped version, our frock, womens' and mens' tailcoats and mens' short coat. You can choose your fabrics, lining, piping, and buttons from her samples and she can measure you. Again, please let us know if you need to see her at a show and we'll get you in touch.

 

We are also making lots of changes to our website. Lynn Wolpmann, master webpage guru, is putting up pictures of some of our Newest Items to give you some ideas! These will be constantly updated. We really appreciate our models, Jane Williams and Eline Eckroth. It helps to be 6' tall and gorgeous!!!! Thanks, girls! You can now link directly through to our eBay store, as well; just go to the "close-out" page and it will send you there directly. Don't forget that UPS picks up here daily, so let us know if anything peaks your interest!

 

We are so excited about this April! Our broodmare, Coming Attraction (Come Back II/Astrid/Amiral) is due to foal. This should be the ultimate amateur's horse! She is bred to Springsteen, Jennie Lorriston-Clark's stallion, a hopeful for the 2012 British team. He is so trainable that he started his Grand Prix career by age 9 and is handled by children. Jennie says he has one of the best temperaments of all of her horses. My mare was given scores of 9-8-9 by SWANA at inspection and is really coming into her own this year. If the foal is a boy, he will be offered for sale. Please direct any inquiries to Jo!

 

Hope everyone stays warm over the next few months. Boy, am I learning how to layer!!!

 

Happy Holidays and Happy Riding!

September 2011

 

OK, I have to admit, the weather up here is incredible at the moment! I never knew how nice it could be to show in September in 70 degree temps (sorry, Florida)! I've seen 2 new facilities now, too, that are incredible; LATTA and FENCE. Holy cow!!! Trails, rolling hills, amazing views and very nice riding areas. The folks up here really can put on a great show! Thanks to all that have stopped by and met us. I'm amazed at how many people I meet that I originally met while living in Florida! Anyway, I hope to continue meeting new riders up here and making new friends. Our next stops are:

Sept 24-25: Pinehurst Dressage at Southern Pines

Oct. 1-2: Pumpkin Patch Dressage in Aiken

Oct. 15: LATTA Lighten Up dressage

Oct. 20-23: Region 1 Champ's, Lexington, VA

Nov. 5-6: Harvest Moon, Williamston, NC

We'd also like to announce that we are having a HUGE open house and sale the weekend of Thanksgiving. Fri-Sun, Nov 25-27, at our new farm in York, SC from 9-5 each day. The basement is full of sale and ebay items marked down to incredible prices. I lose money on this stuff, so I don't carry it with me and it's set up downstairs. This is a perfect opportunity to get some Christmas shopping done for your horsey friends and family! We will have eggnog, free gift wrapping and lots of door prizes, too! Please see the attached document for all the details!

Also, please note that we are finally in our new trailer. I never knew that 1' taller and 1' wider could make such a difference! I'm learning how to drive the behemoth and enjoying being able to stay on the showgrounds now. So, if you're there, come over and share a glass of wine or let's go to dinner! Our season is winding down up here, but it's just getting going in my old stomping ground. I wish everyone a wonderful and successful season in Florida. You don't know how much I miss you guys!!!!! If I can help in any of your needs, just let me know!

Happy riding!

August 2011

Did I really move north of Florida?????  South Carolina can certainly rival the heat of my old state.  I hope everyone is handling this summer!  Take lots of breaks and we'll get through it!  We are finally getting going up here at some shows.  I have met some wonderful show managers -- they put on well organized, super friendly shows in the Carolinas!  I have both ridden and set up at a couple shows now and am very pleased with the area.  There are some fantastic trainers up here, too!  I truly miss all my riding buddies in Florida, though.  If any of you are in the Charlotte area, please look me up!

I just wanted to announce that I have culled quite a few bridles and pants for the ebay store as I change over from one trailer to another.  Please take a moment to look us up on ebay and see what new listings are there.  I have also set up the ebay store in my house in York, SC.  So, if anyone in this area (SW of Charlotte) would like to come by and try on sale items, you are welcome to do so!

I'm learning how to make bricks while walking around after a heavy rain up here.  It's amazing; with each step, your feet just get heavier!  I've also learned the joy of owning a tractor -- I feel so manly!!!!!  The horses are getting fatter by the day, too, on wonderful grass.  I greatly appreciate all my new friends up here who have directed me to a wonderful vet and farrier.  Thanks to all that are helping me try to get established. 

I am heading to the yearly trade show in a couple weeks, so if there is any product or idea that you have been looking for and can't find, please let me know and I'll see if I can get it for you.  I will also be placing lots of special orders in for new fabrics and styles, so look for new goodies to be arriving over the next few months!

Lastly, I am trying to be allowed to set up at the Region 1 championships in Lexington, VA.  I hope to be able to go and would love to meet lots of folks in this area.  So, if you're going, please look me up -- hopefully, I'll see you there!!!

Happy riding!
