We had a nice little party to celebrate my 50th birthday. The gifts received were wonderful..thank you EVERYONE. I also shared the news about the birthday present that I have given to myself... a lovely 13 year old Friesian Ster mare named Beike. She is currently being shown in Holland at ZZ Light Level Dressage, comparable to our 4th Level, and she drives and jumps as well. She is bred to a beautiful stallion named Fabe for a June 2006 foal. Beike will be used for my pleasure riding, trails and driving, and I will also being giving lessons on her. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!
