My Gio is so handsome! So proud of him while we find our stride in PSG. Looottttssss of room for improvements but I think we both understand the assignment now that his temperature gets more rideable at shows!! Love him. Thanks to Jannike Gray Gallagher, Heather Mason and Ben Franklin for continuing to fill my toolbox. Lara Ceppi is the best photographer!!
Thanks to Centerline Events and HITS for a great show!

Some things never change: Jannike Gray Gallagher and Megan Tursi starting out in the early days on Piper. Some things do change: they are successfully working together today, and celebrating Meg’s final score towards her gold medal!! Congrats, Meg!

Memorial Day with Hidde. Never forgotten....

Thanks to everyone who helped make today’s show a success! My 25 year old Lusitano stallion Teimir danced to the BeeGees and started out strong with beautiful transitions into half passes. Well, then he found his humor and nanana-fufu. Exhuberance to be in the show ring again, feeling good and handsome I just gave it to him and we kept dancing. Enjoy each moment with your horse, find gratitude in the experience. I’m happy he felt so amazingly good today, even if not in the aids 100%!!

Nice start back into the FEI levels with Gio today at the Seventh Heaven Recognized show today! 62.8 in the PSG, he is becoming so much more focused and rideable! Now I have to get my act together 🤣

Congratulations to our young student Dori Girgenti for choosing Sonnenhof Equestrian Center to be the inspiration for her artwork: she won 🥇 in the second grade category! Look at the loving detail she put into this piece, she is riding Tinkerbelle in the ring, and even my old buddy Judge is around! Look for her artwork throughout the town of Easton, where it will be displayed!! Thank you Dori, and congratulations!

Grateful for a wonderful day of lessons and a hip workshop led by my friend and mentor Tiffany Rosen DeMartin, who helped us find new movements and surprises in our bodies, so we can be the best for our horses! She will be here once a month for other theme workshops - stay tuned for dates and message if interested. Next one is a breathing workshop: release tension nd engage your core thru breathing! Everyone is welcome!

10 years with Teimir today. Jannike Gray Gallagher and I are forever grateful to Simone Blau Gell and the team around her who brought him into our lives. We love him deeply, appreciate his quirks and his glass always being half full if not overflowing……. Nancy Goldmark Sara Vanecek

Thank you Megan Tursi and Katrina Heilbroner for keeping my dirty whity tighties in top shape and happy while I was out. They look phenomenal and I can’t thank you enough for your help and support!!!

Seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, I want to send a heartfelt “THANK YOU” to my incredible family, friends and staff. Being laid up definitely isn’t for me, but having you guys in my corner is a great feeling: Jannike Gray Gallagher, Jettke Gray, Jorge, Hailey Schwartz
Chelsea, BethAnne Voight-Jause and Megan Tursi. My deepest appreciation to our boarders and students for being patient and trusting our team the way I did. Two more weeks and believe me: I can’t wait!!
