I thought someone on this list might enjoy Tom ites' Ridecamp post. Nancy I just got back from the AERC Convention and the GAHR Reunion where after 32 years we again had the opportunity to meet others from as far away as Australia, Germany, Canada and parts of the USA.
It was a Loving remembrance of a summer we all agreed was an experience of a lifetime. We decided that since we had so much fun we're gonna do it again the next 29th of February. That date sorta fits us. But since there is this conversation of the Icelandics, allow me to convey that there were 2 teams that finished in front of me riding Icelandic Ponies. Count Johannes Hoyos of Austria in 13th place and Walter Feldman of Germany in 21st place. These were some real good ponies whose leasing was arranged by Linda Tellington-Jones. Over dinner at the La Strada Italian Restraunt w/ Walter and Curt Lewis, Walter told us he is going to Atlanta for a 3 week Icelandic Seminar he was brought over for and arranged arround the reunion. Walter has on his farm in Germany 300 Icelandics and has been enamored by them since 76 even those his farm imported some Standardbreds, but the ponies are his forte. These ponies are tough, strong and willing and there are stories i could tell of how they jumped picnik tables for demonstrations during the GAHR. Let me also say that Martha Post (who we have not found and if anyone knows of her please contact us) rode POA's (Pony of America) who was also in front of me in 26th place that should not be forgotten in this conversation. ts IceHorses Community for Photos and Videos: http://kickapps.com/icehorses "The greatest enemy of the truth very often is not the lie- deliberate, contrived and dishonest -- but the myth -- persistent, persuasive and unrealistic." "All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident." ~ Arthur Schopenhauer [] Lee Ziegler http://leeziegler.com [] Liz Graves http://lizgraves.com [] Lee's Book Easy Gaited Horses http://tinyurl.com/7vyjo [] IceHorses Map http://www.frappr.com/IceHorses Yahoo!
