Re: [RC] [RC-Digest] Vol: 03.3346 How did you get started - Chipnml

I came from a very strong background of dressage/combined training and showed my horse at Arab shows in the hunter/jumper classes.  My first lessons as a child were on gaited Saddlebreds and I also had a mare I gamed. About 18 years ago I saw an ad in the local paper for a ride that was nearby.  I called and asked if I could hook up with someone because I didn't have a trailer, and they said they'd send someone to pick me up since I was only a few miles away.  That person was Art Priez, and he wouldn't let me pay him anything.  I felt welcomed and at ease from the very start, and have never wanted to do anything else!
