I hope this posting finds everyone well and with happy horses! I thought I would give everyone a bit of information about Clifden (clif), Vitesse (Tess), and myself.
I am currently a college senior at Appalachian State University in Boone, North Car
This year has started out very busy, I am taking 18 hours this semester in order to graduate on time..oops :). This year's cold has been brutal and the snow has been incredible! We have had over 68'' in Boone, and yes this is in North Carolina! Luckily, my horses live at home where the snow has been much less, but still somewhere around 30''+! As I mentioned above, my family is great! My grandparents bred, raced and housed Clif until he was nearly four when I got him. He

I cannot forget my trusty dog Kinley! I found Kinley living in a manure pile while working in Southern Pines. She has turned out slighty better than you would have thought coming from a poop pile! She accompanies me on all my trots (poor dog! those take almost 45 minutes sometimes!) and my gallops (she usually stops to watch by the second 5 minute round!). Most importantly, she is also extremely talented at getting me run away with!
Clif is the wild, fun boy of the farm. He would definately be the class clown/bully/star athlete/everybody's boyfriend. He's the whole package of that kid in school we all couldn't figure out if we liked or not! But, as it stands now, I think he's pretty great. It has definately been a

Tess is the queen of the land, or actually the princess! She was broke as a 4 year old and had a bit of slow start due to a very large buck (she is an Aberjack baby!). She started her career out fabulously finishing 7th at her 2nd event and 1st novice at Virginia HT, and going on to win her 3rd novice start to finish at Champagne Run HT on her dressage score of 30 in a division of over 25 horses, what a good princess! Tess is all woman; everything about her is big, except for her body--biggest heart, biggest attitude, biggest jump and biggest stride! She's a blast to ride as long as you keep signing happy songs in your head while your doing flat work. She has started out this spring with a happy outlook on life-- jumping fabulously and her flat work is coming along well, not too much m

Hope everyone stays warm, happy, and healthy!
