My Sentiments Exactly!

Interesting article on Fugly Horse of the Day about the yank and crank dressage riders.

I could'nt have worded it any better!

The website is worth bookmarking!

Rare Tape of Walter Zettl

By now, most of you have probably seen this. I had the VHS tape of Walter Zettl riding at the IESS Open House in 1982. What I did'nt realize is that was one of the last times that he ever rode. Shortly after this, he had a very serious riding accident, and could not ride again. I had totally forgotten about when he had the accident until Walter contacted me about it a couple of days ago.

In the background of this photo is WAZ in the summer of '82 when he was coaching me.

So, here is the link where I put it on Youtube.

Gen Custer is a Star at the Royal!

Leave it to Maverick to steal the show! He was his personable self, showing off in the ring that became full of adoring fans when we did our final salute in the demonstration. We even got to do a question and answer period, where I took the mike and fielded questions from the spectators.
Jack deWit, President of the Ontario Equestrian Federation thanked me for my participation, and thought our demo was marvelous!.
Our trip to Toronto was definitely a hit, and we look forward to doing it again next year.

My New Business Cards!

Are these hot or what? I've been spending a great deal of time on the 'puter doing some photo editing. It's the best work I've done so far. Thanks to the lady at Minuteman Press in Brantford for doing the final editing on the fonts! Excuse the white marks on them, my scanner seems to be picking up every bit of paper from trimming them at the printing shop.

The top pic is my postcard and the bottom one is the business card.

Now I am ready for the Royal!

Gen Custer is going to the Royal!

Mav and I will be at the Royal on Wed Nov 7th and Thursday Nov 8th in the Cavalcade of Breeds area. We will be representing the Arabian Horse both days, doing dressage demonstrations. I will be showing him 3 times per day. I don't know the times yet, but will post on here when I get the exact times. Please stop by and say hi!
Another nice pic, thanks to Christine Moore.
