Paralympics – Dressage

If you get a chance you should watch these riders!
Paralympics – now ride the event with your eyes closed!

The Equestrian events test the ability of horse and rider to display both athletic prowess and supreme elegance.

Athletes with a disability have long taken part in Equestrian activities, originally as a means of rehabilitation and recreation. Para-Equestrian Dressage developed in the 1970s, with the first events held in Great Britain and Scandinavia. The multi-disability sport has since spread around the world, and athletes from more than 40 countries now compete on a regular basis.

… AND ONE MORE STORY!!!

Here’s an interesting article on the start of the Black Stallion Literacy Project (now known as Horse Tales Literacy Project).
It was published in Arabian Horse Magazine and is about how the program developed as a non-profit.

It’s about the most fun you can have (bringing horses, books and kids together) & we  hope you can experience – the experience at Horse Tales Literacy Project!

Too bad sister Alice and brother Steve have never been interested in, involved with or even seen my program in 12 years :( Guess that’s what livin’ for the city (NYC) will do to you, as Stevie Wonder sang way back when!!! You gotta take a look at this (with Ray Charles).

Another Story

That’s what he said …. Aramco World Magazine!

This is one of the coolest magazines out there … all glossy, no ads and FREE!!! You really need to take a look – if not for Black Stallion, to learn about where we are in the Middle East part of life for a lot of Americans soldiers … and History. This magazine has fascinating articles you won’t see anywhere else.

Our story, from a few years back, but they still show “Black Stallion Returns”  on base someone wrote me not long ago. Enjoy the story and if you never saw the sequel you can find it HERE.
