The renowned equestrian photographer
John Minoprio
–
whose photos have graced the pages of Sidelines - now has a
beautiful new granddaughter named
Florence
. A brief stint in
intensive care immediately after her birth has set her on the right
track.
Hats off to
Erin Jones
, from Parker, Colorado, and her lovely
mount
Edmund
. The duo won the Preliminary Division and
Love is in the air!
Tommy Serio
, a hunter jumper trainer
from Keswick, Virginia, and
Kathy Mailloux
, an amateur
hunter rider from Wellington, Florida, are engaged and will
be getting married at Keswick Hall, in Keswick VA. Although
only dating a short time, they have known each other for
many, many years, the last 10 of which Tommy has been
Kathy’s trainer. It’s so nice when a long friendship blossoms
into romance - a “When Harry met Sally” ending.
