Will the rain never stop?  Sunny Southern California wasn’t too sunny this spring, and too many shows got canceled.  At press time, our fngers were crossed for the Blenheim shows, the Verdugo Hills show, and Gold Coast to get off to sunny starts and lots of horses.  Northern California was downright winter like.  So glad June is here at last!

Did you see the fun article on Larry Langer in the Chronicle?  All of his friends have been calling, texting, and Facebooking that they now know what kind of Starbucks he likes.  And the part that he met Marnye when he was just 12?  We guess fact checking is a dying (or dead) skill. (Not that we are blameless in that department, but we all do try to get it right!)  

Lucy Davis seems unstoppable.  Four in a row at Thermal. What is next????

Wedding bells: Our own Jan Westmark marched down the aisle the same weekend as Prince William and Kate . “My fancé’s name is Bill Allan (well William really - so I guess I am marrying my own Prince William!!). Hugs and happiness to you both Jan!

Foxhunting: Carrollton Hounds (Maryland) recently elected Jason Dudderar on as a Joint Master. Good hunting to you, sir!

Bumps and Bruises: Seems everyone has had a bout of something or a broken bone or two this spring. Foxhunting legend in his own time, Ben Hardaway had a fall in his kitchen recently and broke his hip; we’re told he had a hip replacement at the Hughston Clinic in Columbus, GA. We wish him a speedy recovery.

Frank Madden with the able assistance of Course Designer, Scott Starnes held a great clinic at Huntington Central Park Equestrian Center in Huntington Beach, CA. California folk are marking their calendars for the next clinic with Don Stewart on August 9 - 10. For more info, check out www.HBHorseShows.com
