The big change in our lives is Frederick! After 6 years of ballet, Anya decided to go after her passion and we bought Fred.The change was bittersweet since she was getting very good at ballet, especially on pointe. We keep Fred in Ada which is about 25 min. from our house. He's a show horse and very experienced. Anya will have to work hard to get up to his level which is why she spends several hours a day at the barn. She's earning money for him working at John's office and cleaning our house. Her teacher was a Grand Prix winner from Ireland so Anya's in good hands. This was a picture from her first show. She won third place in one part and first place in the other. She also won the End of Show Championship in her division. We're proud of her!

You look nice on your horse. I remember when Morgan would ride horses on Mackinac and you wanted to go too, but you were too young then. Well now is now and you are doing what you dreamed of then, so have fun and good luck in the competitions!
