June 4th Susan Graham White Dressage Clinic (1 spot left!)

Susan Graham White

 will be returning on 

 Wednesday, June 4th

.  Lessons will be at the lovely A Bit Better Farm (Brookeville, MD).

   

Lessons are $130/each for a 45-minute private lesson.  We typically start around 11am and finish up around 7pm, so we have 2-3 slots for the "after work/school" crowd. Cash, check and credit cards are accepted.

Auditing is encouraged and always FREE!

Remember that Susan is a licensed judge, so if you want, you can bring your dressage tests and have a fix-a-test type lesson.  If you want to learn more about Susan, click here: http://sgwdressage.com/node/1.

When I Am An Old Horsewoman ...

A good friend forwarded this to me, and I just had to share!

When I Am An Old Horsewoman
I shall wear turquoise and diamonds,
And a straw hat that doesn’t suit me
And I shall spend my social security on
white wine and carrots,
And sit in my alleyway of my barn
And listen to my horses breathe.

I will sneak out in the middle of a summer night
And ride the old bay gelding,
Across the moonstruck meadow
If my old bones will allow
And when people come to call, I will smile and nod
As I walk past the gardens to the barn
and show instead the flowers growing
inside stalls fresh-lined with straw.

I will shovel and sweat and wear hay in my hair
as if it were a jewel
And I will be an embarrassment to ALL
Who will not yet have found the peace in being free
to have a horse as a best friend
A friend who waits at midnight hour
With muzzle and nicker and patient eyes
For the kind of woman I will be
When I am old.
