My happy accident!
Here is a link to my photo portfolio I am doing for one of my classes at school. It is mostly horsey.

Dale Govus and Izzie were the Advanced Single Pony winners.

Philip Needs and Winnie.

Keady Cadwell won the Preliminary Pair Horse with Nick and new horse, Sam.

We think Randy may have been late for a plane. She was the winner of the Advanced marathon and the pair pony division.

The tandem challenge attracted 5 tandems.

Wendy Ying led from start to finish in the Intermediate Tandems.

One more just because…
World Disabled Championships 2008
Click the link above for photos. Some of the photos are by Pat “Diane’s Mom” Kastama, and the others were taken on my camera by various people. We had a great time. There were many people who helped to get us there, a big thanks to all of you, namely: Fiona McQuat, Sara Simmons (loaners and transporters of carriages and ponies), Randy and Keady Cadwell (coach and chef d’equipe), the USDFD and everyone who raised & gave money, and countless others.
we have no official scores because of protesting by the dutch. one of the german drivers made a circle after the last hazard and was penalized for deviating from the course, but the deviation was to avoid another horse. buuut … tentatively, i was fifth in the marathon, mary eighth in grade 2, diane eighth in grade 1. that makes me still first overall for grade 2, mary third and diane second or third depending on the protest. team usa is in bronze medal position only nine points from gold. no pictures yet, we were too busy partying.

Jack and I in dressage, we scored a 41. Sooooooo cute!

Diane and Jasper scored a 43 and are winning the Grade 1 division.

Lefty says hi. Lefty loves to fetch his tennis ball.

Wait for it….

Go!

Success!

Repeat!

and…

Again,

Again…

One more time!

Meanwhile, Nestle cools off in the water trough. Fetching requires way to much concentration for him!
