On Sunday 29 November 2008, we hosted a fun Ride-a-Test day at Harmony.
Our riders used this day to insure they had their time management perfected
with grooming, braiding and schooling. Each rider rode really well and
they all looked beautiful. Riders and horses were turned out
impeccably. As always, the first test was the nerve-wracker for the
students, but the second test was the better of the two for all riders.
This is because they had those first time butterflies out of the way, they
remembered to BREATHE .. and the enjoyment, energy and relaxation shone
through. All students are very excited about the next show!
Great job, all!
Below are some images taken of the riders and their horses!
We will be

6 Dec 08 - Schooling Show at Rocking Horse! It was a
wonderfully successful debut for four of my awesome students!
Despite first time nerves, every single rider was placed! I am so
proud of each horse/rider combination. They all were so nicely
turned out and rode their very best. The support, camaraderie and
positive energy they brought made the event a great experience. A
special thanks goes out to Laura Ohlrich. Laura (unfortunately)
could not show with her cute little horse, Cowboy, this time out.
However, she came along to support the other riders and took these
really nice photos below. Laura obviously has a great eye.
If you are interested in purchasing prints from Laura .. you can email

Renee placed 5th
and 6th in two separate tests,
Savannah placed 5th in her test (which
was double kudos as it was the first show for Savannah and the very first
show for her 6 year old horse, Gibson aka DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH). April
also rode a super test and was placed 5th
.. and our STAR of the day was Patty who earned a well-deserved
FIRST PLACE
on her horse, Champ!
Thank you girls (and your horses -Diamond in the Rough, Hoehenflug, Blue
Acres Independence, Blue Acres Champion) for making my work so pleasurable
with your hard work, determination and great attitude!

On 4 December 2008, my wonderful purebred, registered Doberman Pinscher
.. Zeus, crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. Bill and I bought Zeus
as a 6 week old puppy in June 2000. In September 2008, Zeus was
diagnosed with lymphatic cancer. Just under 3 months later, At 8
years old, my precious boy closed his eyes and went to join his brother,
Apollo, who also lost his fight to cancer on 4 December 2004. Strangely
enough, four years later to the very day. I
pray that Zeus, Apollo and his "daddy" (my deceased husband,
Bill Landman) are happily reunited. Rest in peace, my
beautiful boys.

Just this side of heaven is a place called
Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet
goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run
and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and
comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor;
those who were hurt or maimed are made whole
and strong again,
just as we remember them in our dreams of days
and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for
one small thing;
they each miss someone very special to them,
who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops
and looks into the distance.
His bright eyes are intent; His eager body
quivers.
Suddenly he begins to run from the group,
flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet,
you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again.
The happy kisses rain upon your face; your
hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the
trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from
your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Hans Harrison, Set Designer at
SEAWORLD, Orlando, is
constructing our DRESSAGE MIRRORS for our Regulation Sized Dressage Arena!
We are thrilled - like any dancer or martial artist, it is very difficult
for riders to perfect the art of classical dressage without the aid of
mirrors. The mirrors are our best friends.
