Sister talk


I changed my desktop to this photo and I thought I would share it with you. They are sisters Rodlechien and Personality (the bay). I bought Personality from Ms Eva Maria Boerschmann way back about 1980.

For a short time Rodlechien was boarded at my barn. I trained Personality in dressage and then Bred her to a black Trakehner stallion Gaillard and she had a beautiful colt Jazzman who I kept and trained in dressage and jumping. I loved dressage! So technical and yet so beautiful. The partnership to me was the best of all, having your best friend with whom you can spend hours practicing and perfecting your craft and also trail riding, playing and relaxing with. They don't use words but they can sure talk if you listen. What are these two saying? "You move over", "No, YOU move over", "NO, YOU MOVE OVER!!!" Sisters, geesh! :)

My first Youtube movie

Starring Gizelle!

I made my first movie on my iMac with iMovie. It is myself and my horse Gizelle doing dressage in the backyard. I am not sure exactly the year but somewhere around 1996. Lizard was kind enough to transfer my old VHS tape to dvd and then I could import it into iMoive. I have only have my iMac a few weeks and it is taking some getting used to, to be able to move about and find everything after being a PC person for my whole life. I plan to transfer some other fun videos that I have of my dogs and horses. It will be great to see the old stuff we filmed.

Just click on Gizelle's name to watch the video.

Cheers
