horsegirltv® adventures with angelea

So this past weekend Sheryl with FITS was kind enough to invite HorseGirlTV to a trade show in Richmond. The event was quite well attended and we met some really nice folks. I was able to finally meet Patty Lasko (Dressage Today Editor) in person. It was great to connect with people in the industry and hear how cool they thought HorseGirlTV is. It was actually a pretty cool experience for Joel as out of all the people at the event, we ended up seated with some folks from Fredericksburg and her husband is a former Marine who involved in the Korean War. Pretty impressive!

Day two of our weekend excursion was at Monticello, home to Thomas Jefferson. Needless to say the place was spectacular and the geography reminded me of the Williamette Valley (apart from the haze) which allowed for a bit of home sickness. The tour of TJ’s home was really interesting and his designs of the place pretty radical. My favorite in the house was the design of his bed (sorry no photos allowed in the house) but it was basically a archway enough for his bed to fit and one side his dressing room and the other his office. How brilliant I thought! That would be perfect for me. Hah! The carriage house and stables were situated under a walkway connected to the house and were quite cool as well. They were very old English in design and basically offered standing stalls rather than our traditional boxes. All and all it was a really relaxing and educational weekend.

Thanks to TIA at EVF in Auburn, Washington, HorseGirlTV is a proud sponsor of the Octoberfest Hunter Jumper Horse Show! It’s pretty cool to be able to sponsor the Open Hunter Classic Class. I love watching show jumping and admire those brave enough to go over fences!!! Haha!

If you want to learn more about the Octoberfest Horse Show you can go to their website. I’ll put the link at the end of this blog.

Althought it’s NOT in the month of October it’s a pretty cool show at Donida Farm in Auburn, Washington. The atmosphere is very friendly, the venue lively so if you head out to watch make sure and stop by and say hi to Tia and Morgan at Encanto Valley Farm! They are in B Barn and just follow the trail of all the blue ribbons! You guys rock!

This is HANDS DOWN my favorite episode. It keeps just getting better and better from Brent at Jackhammer! It was so much fun to meet 1st Sgt. Chinn and ride along with them on patrols. If the video podcaster thing doesn’t pan out I was thinking a career in law enforcement or some sort of public service could be pretty rewarding actually!
