I took super 8 movies at the 1978 world championships and had them transferred to dvd a few years ago. They are amazing, and I also fell in love with Volturno. My husband was filming the serpent fence where several horses went down and he stopped, handed me the camera and said” I can’t do this anymore, it feels like I’m literally shooting them” The temperature was brutal and I kind of lost my taste for upper level eventing that weekend.

Your post has me feeling a whole range of emotions. On the upside? Super 8 and horses!!! On the opposite, the fate of the downed horses.

I know nobody. I’ve ridden with nobody. I am a nobody.
But Jeff Bridges said hi to me when I was an extra in a movie he was making.
So far off topic it’s ridiculous.

Going really far outside the dressage world, into the realm of ridiculous: I watched a Muffy Seaton video once, and it did me a lot of good!

He and his son did extremely well at the Bolivarian Games this year. Julio walked away with a gold.
They’re a great family. I worked at the farm beside his and he rode some of our horses so I spent a good amount of time talking to him.
He took the reins of a young stallion of ours and I always had to be in the ring with him because the stallion adored me.
