A marketing specialist and horse lover. Having played the corporate game for a long time now, I came to a cross road and took the turn of 'passion'. I want to pursue my dream and apply my skills that subjects I am passionate about. This is a blog about my journey and it involves a lot of horse stuff.

Horse & Country TV had a little gem that I found, a recorded master class by Edward Gal on Sisther de Jeu at Olympia. I always admired him, Gal, as a rider. He has brought several horses to world fame including the handsome Lingh.
