Pennsylvania

Below is a post I found that was never posted once I arrived in PA to train with Ollie for WEG. It was an awesome experience and I will be returning to PA every other month to continue my training. Ollie is now permanently retired and I hear he is loving his new life. A huge thank you to Jennifer, Bill, and of course to Ollie for offering this experience of a lifetime to this Para rider! Long life, love and happiness to each of you.

I've arrived in PA and Ollie will arrive tomorrow morning. It's beautiful up here. Rolling hills, not too muggy, cool looking houses and buildings, and really nice people.

Friday I arrived and hung out with some friends, Saturday went to NYC to a party with some friends, Sunday rested, and Monday went to Blue Hill Farm to get used to the layout - so I wouldn't be so dizzy when Ollie arrived. The grooms were wonderful. I also got to watch Missy ride several horses, Jessica ride a horse, watched Becca ride, and a few others. It was really cool. I go later today to roll wraps, clean tack and ride another horse. I'm happy to be here and can't wait to learn everything I possibly can.

Can't wait to see Ollie again either! I didn't think I'd fall in love again after Radical. But alas, I am in love...again. :)

More to follow!
