Our sweetheart is one blessed and lucky girl: she will be featured with her trainer, Heather Jayne-Hill and other riders at Del Lago in a local newspaper in North Houston. Here are a couple of her snapshots that will be published in the Community Impact. We can't wait for the newspaper to come out!
Below is cute Ella on Boudraux hard at work. That day they hacked (walk/trot) for an hour with no break before spending another twenty minutes jumping cross-rails. This girl has passion and an incredible stamina. (Now, don't ask her how her little thighs feel!)
Here with Heather of Heatherton Show Hunters and Jumpers and Ramon Arizmendi of Del Lago:
Heather's and Ramon's (who was introduced to us by Heather), dedication, passion, and professionalism are remarkable. I hope that Ella will be riding with Heather for a long, long time.
As I mentioned in my previous entry, we're getting all excited and hard at work about the FARE (Food Allergy) walk in September and preparing for a little fundraiser for that in a couple of weeks. We will be baking and selling allergen-free (dairy-free, nut-free, and gluten-free) cupcakes and cookies to our neighbors and local friends on our front lawn. We've submitted a request for permission to hold a fundraiser at H.E.B's front store and waiting for hear back from their corporate office about approval. At any rate, we'll be hosting the cupcake fundraiser at our home this Saturday. In case, they approve it, we'll do another one at H.E.B. We love baking and for a great cause, such as this, I'll bake galore!! A couple of weeks ago, I was asked for an interview in our Sugar Land local newspaper, to discuss the impact of food allergies on our family. It was a good opportunity to get the word out about the FARE walk and in general, about our struggles as well as little successes with managing food allergies, as well as creating awareness in the community and at school. The interview will be published next week in the Sugar Land News. It does break my heart every time I have to talk about this, in private or in public but I have to do it for Ella and all other children like her. I never thought that food would be such an issue to us, to her, but I always find comfort in counting our blessings, her blessings, and the fact that it could be a lot worse. She is strong and healthy, even if her asthma and (other) allergies are giving her a run for her money lately. She's a lot more mature for her years and that gives me comfort that she will watch carefully for herself when she's out there in the world. (This is especially hard after getting the recent tragic news of a beautiful teenagers who passed away from a peanut allergic reaction. How terribly sad... .)
