Yikes!  Much time has passed but many amazing things have happened.  Here are a couple of photos of Icaro and myself, taken by MacKenzie Cooley, from this summer.  He is such a fancy boy.  We actually are celebrating our second year in the Hampton Green Farm 70 club, for receiving scores above 70% this past fall at First Level.
This winter has been a little chilly but not stopping us at Cloverlea!  We are hibernating tonight due to Nemo, but both Beth and I attended the FEI Trainer's Conference with Stephan Peters (amazing) and the Dressage Masters, both in Wellington, FL in January.  I have arrived home not only immensely inspired but also encouraged that our training at our little Connecticut farm is right in line with the masters.  I am loving the layers of understanding (as Beth says) of dressage one may obtain.
