She’s a fortunate one! Congratulations are in order for
Dr.
Andrea Bayer
who got the best Fortune Cookie ever…that’s
the name of her new horse that dressage rider and trainer
Caroline Roffman
imported for her. But, she left her Fortune
behind during a three week Alaskan family vacation complete
with whale watching, dog sledding and polar bear spotting (not
that we can blame her!)!!
Todd Flettrich
was the
mane
attraction at a recent
Show
Chic Shop Talk
event and what a treat for the packed house
that came to get to know Todd. Despite a long and successful
career, Todd was very humble and sincere and really gave
attendees a glimpse of why everyone (including his horses)
like Todd so much … he’s just a really nice guy!
