January/2008 |

| Excursion in Nova Scotia |
April/2004 |
Two of my equestrian dreams came true in August 2001 in Nova Scotia, at the beautiful 350-acre Beaverdam Farm owned by Arthur and Carol Rivoire. Our family vacation is usually spent at Chincoteague, Va., where the wild ponies roam on nearby Assateague Island, but after reading about the Beginner's Driving Vacation in Nova Scotia, I convinced certain members of my family that we should head north for our vacation.

I found trainer Heide Hellwinkel through an American-based company, Hobby Horse Tours, which organizes training trips to Germany.

| Monumental Escape |
January/2004 |
This column is designed to celebrate our love of horses. If you're reading this magazine, you've got horse fever. It's not a new disease; mankind has had it since we first put a leg on either side of a horse's back or harnessed his strength for our purposes.
