Cynthia Wiseman has spent the winter getting to know her new mount, Daniel.  They have been riding regularly with Claudia Misner and have furthered their jump training with instruction from Buck Davidson, John Staples and Mary Grantham-Cook.  They plan to show in Training Level dressage classes, Working Hunter Divisions and Equitation classes locally this season as well as begin competing in horse trials. Daniel has proven to be a an interesting, enjoyable partner thus far.  

News from Taura Farms: They will be hosting the Oldenburg Verband Inspection June 25. Warmblood inspections are very educational to watch. If you are interested in having your horse inspected, you can check out the Inspection guidelines on the association's web site at http://www.oldenburghorse.com/

News from Lacey Elmer:   "Just wanted to send you some information about how my 12-year-old Thoroughbred gelding Freeman's Folly aka Brego finished out our 2007 year.  We mostly just Event but I take a lot of dressage lessons from Claudia Misner as well as participate in local Hunter/Jumper shows.  But Eventing is definitely my passion.  We were the 2007 Mid America Combined Training Association (MACTA) Reserve Champions for the Novice Level.  And were 5th in the Overall Standings for all levels.  The MACTA is an organization of 100 plus Eventers from Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and Illinois.  We also earned the Reserve Championship in the Working Hunter Division for the Southwest Missouri Hunter Jumper Association for 2007.  Brego has only been jumping and learning dressage for two years and he always gives me an great ride!"
