LOPETEXAS

  1. Been learning how to be a horse show secretary at hycourtfarm.com. Being a working student there leads to all kinds of horse education!
  2. Our dog Sophie had potpourri of ailments - swollen paw, tummy ache & flea allergy. Visit to LakeAustinBlvd vets cleared it all up :)
  3. Had fun session with Lightng Ball this am! Worked on going straight & having him come thru his back - all while dodging weed whacker dude :)
  4. @caskigal571230 Wow, thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed my book -- that's great to hear :)
  5. Super busy weekend! Lots of fun riding LOPE horses & learning more about the perils & rewards of using the lunge line :)
  6. Just bought some fencing supplies at McCoys -- we have figured out how to reconfigure the barn pasture fence line & will start Sun :)
  7. Save the date! Looks like LOPE's Annual Benefit Horse Show will be 9/15 near Austin. Looking for silent auction donors, sponsors & riders :)
  8. Chaplin is a cute 14H Arabian ex-racer up for adoption. Don't let his size fool you - he has the heart of a big horse: twitpic.com/9lcpnw
  9. Lots of rain again here last night & this am. Glad that the rain will help ward off drought - but worried that our ranch will never dry out.
  10. Had a great country Sat. Bought a cowboy hat, new jeans, weed whacker & shiny red gate for LOPE barn pasture :)
  11. “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is not an act, but a habit.” -Aristotle
  12. Trying to plan fall fundraisers. Thinking we will do a silent auction, a benefit show or clinic & maybe an open house with concert?
  13. Had a great weekend of horse activity! Rode Chaplin in a Sport Horse Versatility clinic on Sat & then rode in all day group lesson Sun :)
  14. Saw Paco de Lucia (renowned flamenco guitarist) last night. Incredible show with super talented ensemble & dancer. Paco was THE maestro :)
  15. The LOPE horses & I are rooting for Barry Irwin & Went The Day Well in the Kentucky Derby! The horses here get very pumped up for Derby day.
  16. My hair was past chin length - too hot 4 summer. Asked stylist to cut it little shorter - ended up w/ 60s style pixie. Mad Men here I come!
  17. @jenmontfort LOPE is shifting mission to focus more on horsemanship education. Can't believe how big the need is for basic ed on this issue.
  18. 98% of race folks we work with are awesome horsemen who care about their horses deeply. They also are worried about industry's trends now...
  19. Started doing adoption work after seeing backside & falling love w/ racehorses doing what they love. Saddened by state of industry today.
