This past weekend was the Equestrian and Animal Husbandry Symposium hosted by the Shire of Riviere Constelle. They had a wonderful selection of classes (and a fantastic venue!) and were very welcoming. I had some great conversations, met some long distance friends, and got to do two things at the same time I've never done before-- rode an Akhal-Teke, sidesaddle. (A special thank you to Cindy for letting me ride your lovely horse. I hope we meet again.) If they host this event again, I encourage you to go!

As usual, I left the event with new ideas for A&S and equestrian projects. After I've had time to sift and sort these thoughts, perhaps some of them will appear here as actual works in progress!
