Jess I swear could absolutely be my twin.......... We think so much the same its too crazy. We've been through a LOT in the past few years. She was paired for 2 years with a spunky little TB mare named Shiela who she totally retrained to turn into a dressage horse. She did hold her own against the imports from Germany. We did a lot of firsts together- First Trillim/ Regular show, first Christian Clinic......Windigo and Shiela both got hind shoes and corks at the same time too..... While she went through lameness and stifnesses, I went through losing shoes, and a few colic attacks. She totally maintains that there should be a section of St. Hy's Vet Hospital dedicated to me, since I was their biggest supporter in 1997. And the ins and the outs of saying goodbyes, and growing up..... Jessi now owns an absolutely amazing big Dressage horse name Picasso (Peeco). She n Peco are going to be turning some heads this summer on the Ontario/Quebec circuit..... Watch out world.......
Where would Windigo be now without these two people? Who knows :) Jill (right) is the most amazing jumper rider I know. She did amazing thing with Windigo over fences..... From "what the hells that" "thats a trot pole Silly"....... to turning heads and pinning on the indoor winter circuit against the A circuit pros........ Tory, right, is a fellow "hick" from the "stix" of the boonies of Lanark County..... well okay- she lives in town and I don't...... We love comparing high school gossip, and who the cuties of track and field are.... She was brave enough to ride Windigo for me while I was off for too long on crutches the fall of 1997.
Here's another one of the crew again....... Emily fit in there this time
Here comes trouble !A long distance runner, a high jumper, and a sprinter..... what a combination.... Left to right is me, Chris and Mariella.... We all grew up together in the sticks of Almonte, and went to kindergarden together, and ....... well....... you get the picture.... "Never forget who you are or where you come from...."
