 Amy
is in Kentucky, but thanks to a last minute knee surgery Wednesday
(yesterday), will not be riding. Needless to say, Pogi is a little
cranky that his rider is lame and that he has to stand around while
all the other horses get to have fun.
They are both looking towards Jersey Fresh now. Wishing all the
horses and riders a very successful Kentucky weekend! (Photo

 Amy
reports she was very pleased with the boys this past weekend at Red
Hills. Poggio competed in the CIC***W and was in 11th place after
dressage with a 51.2. He started off well on the cross-country
course but was retired after the eighth fence having gotten his
tongue over the bit.
Leyland and Devon competed in the CIC*** and finished in 2nd and 4th
places respectively. Smarty competed in the Intermediate division,
his third competition at this level, finishing in 11th place. Amy
was particularly pleased with everyone's show jumping rounds - a
double clear for Leyland, clean jumping with two time faults for
Devon and a double clear for Smarty. (Photo

Next up for the boys is Poplar Place HT where everyone will be
competing at the Preliminary level for a bit of a breather. Then
they are off to The Fork in early April for the CIC. Stay tuned for
more news in the coming months.
Kick on,
Team Tryon
Red
Hills was a heart wrenching weekend. Everyone is very saddened by
the accidents that occurred and our thoughts, prayers, and many
wishes for a speedy recovery go out to Darren. We also send our
condolences to Jonathan and Missy for their very tragic losses.

2006-2007 Archived Updates from Amy |

I can’t
believe it's the start of a new season already! Every year it seems
to be less of a break over the winter.
First bit of news, I decided to sell Woodstock. He went to Ellie
Crane, in Ohio. I'm very excited for them and wish them the best of
luck. The Woodstock group decided to invest some of Woody’s proceeds
into a new prospect and purchased a lovely grey gelding named Smarty
from Joanne Bridgman of New Zealand. More

We have had
more natural disasters in the State of Washington in the last few
months than I can ever remember. Are those frogs or locusts I see
raining from the sky? Greg and I feel very lucky to have escaped mostly unharmed; however,
I have gotten very intimate with our chainsaw and tractor. Greg on
the other hand could have a new career as a pyromaniac (he gets to
burn all the stuff we cut, with a permit of course...) More

(Aachen report)
The first bit of exciting news is the arrival of a new
Team Tryon member: Le Samurai, a.k.a. Sparky. Sparks arrived the
first part of June and quickly fit in - a bay, slightly quirky, and
a cribber - how could I go wrong! More

 Overlake Hospital Benefit
September 2005, Amy and Poggio II performed an exhibition ride at
Rock Meadow Equestrian Center in Issaquah, WA to benefit Overlake
Hospital. Poggio enjoyed meeting many of his fans and was very
excited to have the chance to show off his dressage and show jumping
skills to a new audience.
The local exhibition also gave Amy's colleagues from Eastside Fire &
Rescue
a chance to see her ride.
