There's Nothing Crazy About Being a Cat Lady

Posted: 03 Oct 2010 09:05 PM PDT

Remember when I visited Cats Exclusive and Animal Aid a couple weeks ago to take pictures of the cats up for adoption? Well, there were some pretty cute outtake pictures...Being surrounded by bunches and bunches of cats is easily one of the best ways I could think to spend my time -- there's nothing crazy about that, right? Cats are LOVE. :)Me passing out the treats in the cat room at Animal Aid

Heather Blitz and Paragon, Devon 2010

Here is their first ride, which scored in the low 70s for a first place in Prix St. Georges. Did you notice the helmet [jumps excitedly]? I ran after her after she exited the ring after this ride, and got to hear her comments, directed at someone she knew at ringside, not me. Heather's remarks: "He felt really electric! I think the weights of my tails were hitting him on the back, and that gave him something extra."

BTB: "Almost" only counts in horse shows: A TB almost does dressage at WEG

"Almost" only counts in horse shows: A TB almost does dressage at WEG

Posted: 02 Oct 2010 02:20 PM PDT

Last month Britain's Laura Bechtolscheimer, the third-ranked dressage rider in the world, rode her mount Andretti H to win the 2010 National Championships. Their score of 78.55% is aaaawwwffuully close to the scores Bechtolscheimer achieved with her top mount Mistral Hojris prior to WEG (I think her high score was 81%). Last week at WEG she got three silver medals at WEG with Mistral and a personal best score of 85%.

But this is about Andretti. He stayed "across the pond," but if Mistral had not been able to perform he was in the wings as the backup horse.

A coverup? ;-)
Here's a word about Andretti's breeding. In the show programs and on the scoreboard, Andretti H is referred to as Hann for Hanoverian; Hanoverian by Arking XX, where XX indicates thoroughbred; or sometimes just German bred. Humpf! For the record, he's 7/8 thoroughbred (see pedigree). Here's a nice video...

His gaits are really QUITE NICE. Andretti was an accomplished international Grand Prix competitor before Laura bought him.

I am wearing yellow today to support LIVESTRONG day!

This October 2, LIVESTRONG is trying make sure that—on every street and every trail, they're letting the world know that they're ready to beat this disease. They want to turn some heads and join the fight against cancer by wearing yellow on LIVESTRONG Day. I am wearing yellow to help show my support and to raise awareness of the 28 million people living with cancer worldwide. I hope there will be a cure in my lifetime.
