Subject: Tia chasing cows!
I got to team sort the cows with Tia tonight and had soooo much
fun! I didn't get a chance to upload all of the pictures, but
this is one of the best for sure! She's learning to LOVE it!
Such fun! I bet not too many FWF horses get to do this!!!!

Here's some fun pics from when we practiced
our skills out on XC.
Hope all is well with you, your family and
the horses. I bet you're busy with a new crop of beautiful
foals on the ground.

Subject: Pics from Lucinda Greene Clinic Day 1
Hi Fredericka!
I took Tia to a Lucinda Greene cross country
jumping clinic at Stone Gate last week and had sooo much fun!
Attached you'll find some of my favorite pics of the first day.
I'll send even better pics of the second day in another e-mail.
We learned how to properly jump up and down banks and drop
fences, drop into water, jump over ditches and jumped downhill.
I learned how to properly ride those obstacles to get the most
successful jump from Tia and to stay safe in case things go
wrong....great things to know! Tia was a star and jumped
everything as if she'd been doing those kinds of obstacles her
whole life.
I was excited to try competing in a few
hunter trials this year after taking a 5 year break from
eventing competitions, however, her heaves kicked in full force
this past week which could very well put an end to that goal
before we even get started. I'm putting her back on an herb
that I've had success with in the past and I'm starting to soak
her hay again....keeping my fingers crossed that it does the
trick! If it doesn't work and she stays heavey, at least she
has sooo many more talents that we can share together so we
won't feel like we're missing out. Her heaves are usually the
worst in the Summer and Winter and ease up enough to jump XC in
the Spring and Fall, so we can wait until Fall to play on XC if
need be. We're going to team sort those cows tomorrow and I'm
anxious to start driving her again. She's a fabulous posse
horse and is a favorite with the park visiting public for sure.
I'm sure that she's convinced that the public visits the parks
just to see her.

Subject: Vacation Bible School Visit
Hi Fredericka!
Here are some pics from our visit to the
church this past Sunday. I didn't get many shots with the
public because I had no "official photographer" with me. I was
lucky to get the shots that I did. Tia was amazing as usual!
She adores her public and is so at home with everyone doting on
her and petting her. It's so funny, because at home, she's very
aloof and usually will walk away whenever anyone attempts to pet
her. I attribute that to her doing her duty and filling her
role as the alpha mare here at home. She totally changes into
such a kind, affectionate, understanding soul when I take her to
visit with the public. It's my main motivator for doing all the
volunteering that I do with her.
I especially enjoy the sensitivity and
awareness that she has of the handicapped, young children and
the elderly. There was a girl with Downs Syndrome at the church
on Sunday and Tia picked her out of the crowd, went right up to
her and just parked her head right in front of her for the girl
to just pet and pet. And when she would stop petting, Tia would
nuzzle her again for more attention. It's so sincere and sweet
to watch. Tia's a very special mare and I feel priviledged to
have learned about this quality that she has and to have the
ability to share her with these folks like I do.

Here's some more Horsefest pics of us working

LOVES it!

Hi Fredericka!
Here are a few of my favorite pics from this
year's Horsefest! Tia was a star as usual, she absolutely
THRIVES around her public and it makes it so much fun for me.
She gave lots of kisses and performed many bows to smiles on so
many faces over the weekend.

Subject: Tia in Western
tack
Tia and I have been
test riding a treeless Western saddle for Maya Saddlery in
California. We had to take lots of pictures as part of the
agreement, so I thought I'd send you a few of the nicest ones.
Maybe a couple can be added to Tia's page on your website since I
don't think there are any Western pictures on there yet?

Hi Fredericka!
Last Sunday, Tia and I took on the cross
country course with Heather who owns Siren (FWF Trophies After
Dark) and Ginny who owns Bella (FWF Princess Isabella's Dream) and
had a wonderful day together! Tia turns 9 years old this week! I
can't believe it! I love her more than ever, she's my perfect
horse! We have so much fun together doing so many different
things. She's such a talented, wonderful mare and I thank God for
her everyday. Our favorite things to do together these days are
cross country jumping, driving and our volunteer work in the
Volunteer Mounted Posse and Light Horse Brigade. She's amazing
when she gets around all those little kids, the elderly and the
handicapped. She's so tender, sweet and lovable with all of them
that it brings a tear to my eye and a glimmer to theirs. Watching
her interact with them is more rewarding to me than winning any
ribbon or trophy. She's a very special mare and I feel blessed to
be her owner.
The babies, Tashi and Jewel, are 3 years old
this year and still growing. Tashi's just about as tall as Tia
now and barely starting to gray out. Jewel is just the most
beautiful pony I've ever seen and I absolutely adore her. Today,
Jewel did her first leadline class with Greg and his little
granddaughter, Taylor. What a good girl she was, you would have
been so proud! It was absolutely precious to watch. I'll send
pictures soon. How many 3 year old horses could you trust with a
small child on their back in the show ring? Only a Flying W Farms
baby I say! |

Here are some ADORABLE pics of
Greg and his granddaughter, Taylor, doing leadline class with both
Tia . I'll attach the leadline pics with Tia.
Oh, I also need to send you pics of Tia from
Horsefest in May. I don't think I ever sent you any. We did the
Horse 'n Hound relay race again in gladiator/war horse attire, she
was a HUGE hit demonstration in the Showman's Circle, we competed
in the mounted police competition both days and she also did a
beautiful demonstration of the English Show Horse for the
Hoofbeats through History program. It was a crazy, tiring
weekend, but Tia just eats that stuff up and was a total angel! I
recently used her to help teach a jumping class and a driving
class at the Farmpark and she was FABULOUS! She's definitely
found her niche with this volunteer stuff. She absolutely LOVES
the Farmpark and enjoys everything she does there....it's like our
second home these days;
