Tour de Tryon
Saturday, August 30 2014
By Jan Westmark Photo op with Morris the Horse in Tryon, NC While I am a horse person through and through, I also love to play tennis! I play tennis with a great group of ladies – and just like riding at a barn where you get to know your fellow riders and love hanging out together - that’s how it is with MY tennis ladies (yes, they are mine!) A few weeks ago I discovered my tennis ladies had never ventured to the horsey land of Tryon, North Carolina, right down the mountain from where we live near Asheville, NC. So we arranged a date to head to the horse mecca - and earlier today we embarked on our Tour de Tryon

Sandsablaze: A Great Book About A Great Horse
Monday, August 04 2014
By Jan Westmark The book Sandsablaze is receiving rave reviews! I love to read and I love horses – so if I can combine both and read a great horse story then I am a happy camper. I just finished reading the book Sandsablaze, Grand Prix Greatness from Harrisburg to the Olympics , by Kimberly Gatto, and suffice it to say I am a very happy camper – even without the s’mores! Sandsablaze is a great ride through history. The book kicks off with a foreward by George Morris that is a fascinating look at what life was like in the show jumping world in the 1970s.
