Bill, what a boring life you have been leading. I feel so sorry for you. (and very jealous).

Good luck on your surgery.

Bill, great to see you back! We were wondering if you'd taken one to many steps when you visited the end(s) of the earth.

BTW, we have a very nice young Dutch for sale.

Thanks, Topper!

A Dutch Warmblood, eh? How'll it do on an endurance ride?

Eight days after my surgery Marlana and I are heading off to (near) Fresno to look at some Morgans. I don't imagine that the ortho will let me ride that soon, but we'll see. Maybe if I promise to keep my right foot out of the stirrup . . . .

Probably not the best choice for endurance although the jumping sure wouldn't be an issue. The baby's Dam is 1/2 sister to Ravel that we recently watched compete in the Olympic Games.

Eight days after surgery seems like you would be pushing it pretty hard. I would love to hear your that recovery would allow you to ride that soon!

BTW, we have a young friend that is skilled in "most" styles of riding. If another team member is needed we could make an introduction.

Yes: introduce us! We want to put together the best team possible for the European Championships in 2014 in Netherlands, and the World Championships in Spain in 2016. I'd love to have 100 people trying out for the team. My criteria would be, in order, team chemistry, riding skill, orienteering skill.
