[RC] Presidents Cup - Wrap up story - StephTeeterI 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 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
