Pan Pan got new shoes!.... Tony , his farrier, decided light weight aluminium shoes would be good for his ring bone ( horse arthritis in the lower leg.) We'll give a couple of days off to adjust. They are bright and shiny and I feel like he should click three times and ask if we're in Kansas yet!.
Getting ready for an up coming clinic with Sandy Webster, on the "leading method" which is going to be video taped for the NARHA conference in November. Reins is in summer break so I'm going to help and ride horses the next several weeks, which is great training and something I enjoy. Life is good.

Adria Di Maria
"OVERCOMING A CHALLENGE BEGINS WITH DETERMINATION, BUT SOMETIMES YOU NEED A LITTLE MORE."
Challenged athlete living the dream of representing the US in the Paralympics. Disability should not impede one from competing.
Bio - Adria Di Maria
Allow me to introduce myself, Adria Di Maria, and the exciting world of Para-equestrian dressage, a sport which has been developing over the past 25 years. Athletes are classified according to their level of disability and compete on a national and international level. I contracted Polio in 1955, and as a result have significant weakness in both of my legs.
My goal is simple: I plan on being the best challenged rider I can be. This means being not only a member of our proud US Para-equestrian Team, but also a respected and contributing member of the community. As a Para-equestrian competitor, I hope to become an ambassador for the disabled athlete and to the world community in the specialty of Para Dressage at the Paralympics in 2012/ England.

National and international equestrian competition is costly, and my limited personal resources do not make up the short fall I frequently face. Consequently, I seek your support and would appreciate whatever your individual situation would allow. Thank You!
