Steph was lucky enough to have taken an unlikely Orlov (thank you Lari 
Shea) through the dream. Riding through the castle at sunset.... She 
proudly represented the US, finishing (although Krusty was hesitant to 
cross the finish line:). It can happen and no one should think it beyond 
their reach if they have the passion!

Good luck to our 2004 US squad!! They will do us proud. They may have good 
luck. They may have bad luck. But they'll do their best by themselves and 
their horses I'm sure!!

in the background!! Pretty much a fairytale ride!!)

(p.s. during our stay with Jackie Bumgardner this month, we've watched 
National Velvet, The Black Stallion, Sea Biscuit (two versions), A bunch of 
early John Wayne movies, Silverado, .... I'm ready for a few 
technoThrillers....) although we've not yet watched Black Beauty.....I've 
been dumpster diving in the walmart cheap dvr bin:)
