Ready to roll and Minden, our first show in Europe

We are all set to fly out on Thursday direct to Frankfurt. We have to drive up to JFK on Wednesday and the ponies will stay overnight at the Vetport. We'll load our equipment Wednesday and the ponies early AM on Thursday and all will be on their way.

We received the schedule today for Minden, the German pony championships which will be held August 24-28. All the US pony drivers but Lisa Stroud will show here. We will leave next Tuesday from Michael Freund's to go to the show.

Minden is the same weekend as the Pairs Championship in Conty, France so we will be cheering on our Pair team while we are showing.

Looking over the schedule from Minden, there are 33 single ponies, 44 pair ponies and 19 four in hands! Should be an exciting weekend for us all and a great warmup for Lipica. There are several Ground Jury members who will be in Lipica as well. The organizing committee has been very welcoming and we are looking forward to the show.
