Thoughts and Prayers to Shelley Griffitts

As many of you may already know, Shelley Griffitts had a bad fall at the Harmon Hopeful show this past Saturday. She is scheduled for surgery on Tuesday the 21st, and at this point, we ask that you all please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

It has been asked that, should you want to send her a card, please do NOT send them to the hospital, but please do send them to her home address:

Shelley Griffitts
180 Night Lark Lane
Campobello, SC 29322

Please also feel free to leave good wishes as a comment to this post. I'm sure that it will be a nice thing for her to read when she is out of surgery and recovering.

Please if you do post info as to her progress here, do make sure that it is accurate information and not just hearsay.

So at this point Shelley, the BRHJA board and family do wish you a successful surgery and a complete and speedy recovery! God Bless!!

Meet My Friend Jaime

I would like to introduce you to Jaime Robertson who is a very good friend of mine. She is my neighbor and riding buddy. Jaime is a very talented artist who graduated from Converse College, my alma mater, with a degree in Art. She rode on the Converse Riding Team while she was there. She has recently studied with Pat Parrelli in Florida to further her knowledge and love of natural horsemanship. Jaime works as an artist for an interior designer doing murals and faux finishes in homes. She has her two horses at home with her. Her horse Raisin is so special and very smart. She showed me some of the things he would do for her. I was in awe! I wanted to have that type of communication! She has been teaching us about natural horsemanship, and it has made such a difference in our horses. Liza loves Jaime because she is always happy and such a joy to be around. Her attitude is contagious! It is not all about winning – it is about trust, relationship, and FUN! Jaime is a very talented artist! Her artwork is gorgeous! The most incredible thing about Jaime is that she is legally blind! I have to constantly remind myself of this fact because I forget it when I am with her! She is an inspiration to me and my family!
