So grateful to Christine Phillips for choosing my pictures to decorate the window at "The Stables" restaurant at The Wanderers Club in Wellington. This is the first time my pictures are exhibited in any way. She did a beautiful job with the arrangements and called it "Caballos del Sol".

Just great to be able to help Meredith and Nick at the Jim Brandon Posse show. Well done!

After 10 years at May Faire Oaks farm, it was time to move the last horses I had in training there (BP and Horte) back to their own High Meadows farm. Mixed emotions about the whole thing, but the horses are so happy there!

Looking forward to 2024! 2023 left with bittersweet feelings. Fortunately, the few good moments surpassed the weight of the many bad ones.

I'm still here, ready for new adventures and good challenges Thank you to all who have supported me through ups and downs 💖
