Sunday in Germany was quite a day. The winter weather cleared and the skies were blue and the air crisp with the idea of spring…but that was it. It was icy and the roads were difficult to negotiate! At Gestut Birkhof we had a tour and then a wonderful brunch with new acquaintances that I hope to get to know better as the years go on. Next summer we discussed and would like to organize a trip to the great Dressage Show in Lyon in the south of France , if I can find a travel agent interested in the adventure! It was a dream of mine to become acquainted with the horsemen and women in France as I have admiration for their world.
