[RC] Presidents Cup - Wrap up story - StephTeeter

I finished my Presidents Cup story - at
http://www.endurance.net/2005presidentscup/stephstory.html .

Seems far away right now, lot of good memories though.

We're in Argentina, currently staying with Mercedes and Eduardo on their
little farm outside of Saladillo. It's late summer here - very green, the
grapes are ripe. We'll stay in Argentina until after the Pan American
Championship - April 14.

This weekend (in about 15 minutes) we're headed to Pinamar (where the PAC
will be) for a local (non-FEI) ride. I'll ride one of Miguel Pavlovsky's
horses - one of his younger ones - on an 80 km ride. Can't wait! Another
ride along the coastline.

And yesterday I played polo!!! (sort of). One of Eduardo's clients manages a
large polo operation, breeding, training, competeting. Polo is a VERY big
sport here. He had some work to do at the farm and while we were there we
were invited to join them in a game. They are bringing on a new batch of
horses, and twice per week they play practice games with them. Eduardo and I
joined them, John took photos (but will play also next time). I had a very
nice horse - very responsive. What fun!! I didn't hit the ball much, mostly
ran around the field following everybody, or practicing off in a corner, but
it was great fun, really cool to feel the horse respond so quickly, chasing
after the ball.

later,

Steph
