Support ME! And help send kids to CAMP!

Hi Everybody.

I’m writing this time to ask for some help. I’m participating in the Victoria Easter Seals Drop Zone in September. The end result will [hopefully] be me rapelling down the CIBC building in downtown Victoria dressed as a super hero. This is where I need help. In order to do this I need to raise $1000 dollars. Please consider sponsoring me, even a couple of dollars I would really appreciate it.

All the proceeds go to the Easter Seals, to help send kids to Camp Shawnigan.

All monies raised in Victoria remain on Vancouver Island to help Easter Seals Camp Shawnigan and Easter Seal House for children with disabilities.

To support me follow this secure link:

Thanks, and I hope to see all of you on the day of the event!!

 

July Westside Show

Spent a day in the glorious sunshine taking photo’s at the Westside show today. I would have to say, I think I’m almost starting to figure out the world of hunter/jumpers! And some of those courses looked soooo fun! Lots of great riding and nice horses.  Without further ado, the photos: http://www.untackme.com

 

Stolen Saddle

Hello All,

I was wondering if I would be able to ask for your help…

My Stubben Avalon Dressage Saddle was Stolen from my home in the Duncan Area.

About a 17.5 inch seat, black, about 4 years old, and in excellent

condition.

This is a unique discontinued model, please notify me if you see one for

sale.

Saddle had been for sale to help pay for university tuition.

REWARD offered.

Please call 250-7487363 or email.

Thank you so much in advance!

Cheers,

Mercedes McLean

 

Westside Derby Show

Just a quick note to let people know that next weekend I will be taking photo’s at the Derby show on Saturday, and possibly Sunday! See you there! Oh, and check out the great new website… www.untackme.com

 

Avalon June HT 09 and Big Changes!

A quick note to let everyone know that my photo’s will now always be linked from the website www.untackme.com which is an exciting new website that will be opening soon. It’s like an ebay for horse equiptment. Definitely check it out, and bookmark it! This website will become more of a companion blog for my photos. I will have a whole new website (with this blog as a link) up very soon! Without further delay…AVALON!

Numbers…

48: The number of hours I was at the event

98: ..percent out of 100 – the rating I would give the band on Saturday night, I had a lot of fun…but hey! the Spice Girls would have been better.

5: The number of people I heard complaining about the new stop watch rule. If you feel strongly about it either way, please download this form and send it to hillcrestfarm@shaw.ca

474: the number of photo’s I took

2: The number of “water jump falls” I witnessed – rough luck guys

I really enjoyed this event, despite not riding. I felt like a lot of people had really positive rides, and accomplished individual goals. By all accounts everyone was happy with the new cross country courses, especially the new trails! Today’s stadium I thought was excellent. There was a couple of technical fences, but was do-able. All of the volunteer’s did an amazing job, including the jump crew today who were out there all day long. Unfortunately I missed the starter cross country, but caught every last person for stadium. Oh, and one last thing before the photos: Arm Bands..they’re called Arm Bands. They go on your arm…just saying!!

June 6th at Westside

I spent the morning at Westside taking photo’s at their schooling show. I caught some of the three foot, all of the 2’3 and the first rotation of 2’6.  There was lots of good riding, and overall I thought the show was well organized- they got people in/out quickly!
