Above Level

This is a continuation of the report on the UPHA Spring Premier show. Hopefully everyone is aware of UPHA’s effort to raise $100,000 for breast cancer research and education (see UPHA Pink Ribbon Program) and is thinking about ways to help. Above Level is making plans to participate in the Pink Ribbon event at the […]

I haven’t heard much talk about the UPHA Pink Ribbon program.  I noticed it first in the prize list for the NY Regional.  They included a full-page ad for the UPHA Pink ribbon class.  Then Chris Cassenti informed me that the theme of the Chapter 14 UPHA Spring Premier Show was to support the Susan […]

I haven’t been on the blog for a couple of days because I was out of town doing something I never thought I would do in a million years.  Yesterday I ran the Indianapolis Mini Marathon with my husband and actually finished without having to walk.  I began training for it in November and finally […]

Here are some tips from an experienced show secretary for getting in and out of the show office quickly and efficiently.

I have been asked to post that long-time Morgan trainer Krista Dent of Lexington, NC had a very serious horse-training accident on March 11, in which she sustained a fractured pelvis that required extensive surgery to repair. No further details are available at this time, but once again your good thoughts and prayers are […]

Presently I am on “foal watch” and let me say, I am exhausted! I realize this is an act of nature and that mares have been giving birth to foals for centuries, however, my brain seems to be under the impression that my broodmare somehow “needs” me in order for things to go smoothly.  If you […]
