I know I haven't updated with any news in awhile! We have been busy! Arva will be showing her horse Dante this summer at some Dressage shows and maybe some Hunter/Jumper shows if the old man can handle it! So I'll post more about that later. If you're in the mid Missouri area and want a FANTASTIC riding instructor, email Diana Gerdes at gerdes@europe.com She's great!!

Congratulations Puff! - Sunday, May 20, 2007
Puff, AKA Arva, with Ginger and Sarah did very well at the SMHJA show yesterday! Arva has done 99% of the work with Sarah by herself, so for her to come home with placings from 1-5th was quite an accomplishment. Thank you Diana Gerdes and Germania Stables for all the hard work you have put in with Arva! A special thank you to Lilli and Joseph who helped out all day changing tack and walking out horses! Without you I couldn't have done it!!

Congratulations Arva! - Sunday, May 06, 2007
Arva and Sarah competed in their first show together where they placed 3rd in both crossbar equitation classes! Arva and Ginger placed 3rd in their cross bar class too! Way to go Puff!
