| This is Doug (a/k/a Echo Ridge) on the left and Frodo, a 20 year old Irish Draft playing their morning "games". Doug is my 13 year old OTTB whom I event and Frodo is a retired Myopia/Wentworth hunt horse who I teach a couple of lessons on. |
 |
| This is "Harry" whom I refer to as the "Harrister". My significant other (Fred) has a soft spot for drafts. Harry is a 13 year old 18.2 hand Belgian and weighs about 2300 lsbs. We just got him in May, 2003 and he still needs to gain about 200 more lbs. We have one more Belgian coming soon . . . . . |

| Things are moving along for Echoridge on July 4th, 2003... | |
| This is Winston. He is a 12-year old 17.2 hand Belgian whom was given to us to keep Harry company. I haven't had a chance to ride him yes (he is a bit of a little devil) but we do plan to drive him next year. |
 |
| This is one of four additional pastures that we are clearing. We have a bulldozer coming in next week to start stump removal. Hopefully, it will all be seeded by next fall. |
 |
| I have lost the top portion of my front pasture to the logging operation that we have going on - I just keep telling myself that it will all be worth it in the end! They should be done in another week, then the barn building starts... |
 |
| This is the site of our future riding ring. It will be about 150' X 250', but first we need to stump, level and bring in footing. |
 |
| This is an example of the new trails for the cross country course. We have a perimeter trail that runs along the river along with a few cut-through trails. Now we have a lot of jumps to build! |

This is my new eventer - Louie a/k/a
"Another Story" is a 14 year old, 17 hand Irish Sport Horse who
has competed Intermediate. This was taken by Tim Delgado at the UNH Fall Horse Trials - Training level. We will move up to Prelim in the Spring! |

 |
| This is our new kitten (Anna) doing what cats do best! |
 |
| This is our new barn which we just finished last month (October, 2003) just in time for winter. This is the first barn of two. This one has 7 stalls and a tack room. We will start the 2nd barn next year which will have 12 more stalls |
 |
| The inside of our new barn - not quite complete, but livable. Our grilles are being made and will be in next week, but we have the "open concept" going for now. There will be a sliding door on each stall. |
 |
| Another new addition - "Flynn" is my new project horse. He is a 10 year old OTTB. I'm not sure if he will be another eventer or not - maybe a hunter . . . We'll see how he performs in the spring. |

 |
| Shadow is another new addition to our lesson program. He is 20 year old Welsh/Arab cross. |
 |
| Harry and Winston are best buddies now and are not usually seen far from each other. They are both 13 year old Belgians. They are going to learn to drive next year. |
