In fact, updating this site is actually overdue. My apologies.
Since I dislike excuses, here are my reasons:
- Australia was on fire
- I ended up with allergy-induced pneumonia
Now that I am parked out in the middle of the desert (no smog) and am nearly finished the antibiotics, an update is finally happening.
While I feel good about the positive influences I had on several barrel and pole-bending horses plus a few riders, the air in the greater Phoenix area (a.k.a. The Valley) took too much of a toll on me. Even the allergy medications seemed to be fighting a losing battle. Lesson learned: Take medication before going there and do not stay more than a scant few days.
Other developments re Australia include the possibility of me spending time there for clinics, TB sales, private evaluations and more. The ‘more’ is the really interesting part. Will advise as things become solid in that regard.
I did manage a short visit with an artist friend in Arizona. Aside from her phenomenal talent with sculpture (see Sculpture by Foss), she has been writing fiction (see Connie Raun Foss on Amazon Books). A very talented lady!!
Oh, and now that Warmbloods Today is no longer publishing, I am looking for a home for a regular conformation column…aside from the one I do for Trainer (Thoroughbred racing). Suggestions?
