Falcao (pronounced like Falcoe) is my schoolmaster. He knows much more than I do but is a patient teacher. He was shown last year by a young rider, Mareike Teichel, who won many awards on him. I spent the year trying to learn to ride him to be as good as he can be. 2007 will be our first year together at the big shows.  I am really looking forward to it!

I am married to Robert, and I am forever grateful that he continues to humor me and tolerate my eccentricities. Without him, my life would be very empty. We got together in 1971 and have been together since.

Princess is a new cat in our lives. She came to live with us from the Humane Society and was a very shy animal to start. 3 months later, she talks all the time, and greets guests at the door. You can tell her mood by her tail, it is always in motion. As her name implies, she rules the house.
