On the international news front,
Dr. Paulo Gonzaga
was honored
at the

Lusitano Festival
in Lisbon,
Portugal for his promotion of
the breed in the United States
and Latin America. The festival
attracted thousands of people
and breeders from all over the
world and during the emotional
tribute,

service to the breed.
The Start Box:
Eurospy tells
us that
Will Faudree
and
Will
Coleman
two of our leading
event riders in England have
been having a grand time on the
lead up to
Burghley CCI****.
Will Faudree is the frst featured
rider in a new column called
‘Drop Dead Gorgeous’
being
run by a regional publication
called
Chiltern & Thames Rider.
It promises to be great fun, but
how funny that of the four participants Eurospy sourced for the
magazine, two of them have come from the US. “We don’t breed
them the same here, sadly,” says Eurospy. “Most of them are Irish
with no teeth.”
Lions and tigers and bears, oh my? Well, lions for sure.
African Horseback Safaris
said that Olympic gold medalist
Mark Todd
has decided to extend his stay later this year
for a further 5 nights! Limited space is available on this
escorted safari at Macatoo camp between 2nd and 7th of
December 2011, so book now to avoid disappointment.
