Feeling So Welcomed and Embraced!

On Canada's birthday (July 1, 2014) Tidal Treasures (Lynn, Gary and the gang) welcomed me and my mare, Lucera, to the 'family' that is this group of amazing horse people.  This posting will be short and just give an introduction... I will be posting my equine adventures from time to time, because only three weeks into our residency I have already had great experiences and 'firsts'!

Rider/equine servant to Lucera:  Janet Manuel, (a.k.a the Dressage Diva and I have a ribbon to prove it, ha ha!) a middle aged woman having returned to horseback riding after thirty-eight years of dreaming of riding again, after my teenage experience with my first horse, Winston, at the Greenwood Saddle Club.  By day a Classifications Specialist with the Canadian Institute for Health Information, most evenings the servant of Lucera and joyous participant in riding enjoyment and precision.

Lucera:  Virginia, USA bred and born (2003) grey-turning-silver purebred Andalusian (Spanish) mare, imported and trained (wonderfully!)  in classical dressage by Karen Pyra and purchased by me March 1, 2013.  This mare, and Karen, have taught me so much, and not only about riding, but about myself.  There will be blogs about our lessons together!

That is all for now, stay tuned for ramblings and even poetry.... Ta ta!
