The 2014 George H. Morris Gladstone Program Final Day Post

In case ya'll are interested, I finally got my act together and put together a post for Horse Junkies United on the final day of the George H. Morris Gladstone program.

There's lots of video, so you don't just get my interpretation, you get pearls of wisdom from the Master himself.

Hope you enjoy!

My Recaps of the 2014 George H. Morris Gladstone Program

The past week was pretty darn awesome, as I spent the mornings auditing the George H. Morris Gladstone Program at the USEF Headquarters in Gladstone, NJ.  I mean, that place is pretty much the church of the equestrian, with tangible memories of the the United State's equestrian greats echoing throughout.

The program is an intense 6 days of training for up-and-coming stars in show jumping.  The applicants are hand-chosen by Morris, and they convene upon Gladstone to learn from a team of experts in physiotherapy, stable management, veterinary care and aspects of running an equine business.

Here are my recaps from Days 1-5:

Day 1

Day 2

Day 3

Day 4

Day 5

The Memorial Day weekend happened so family time interfered with writing time, so I'll put a link to that up as soon as it's written and posted.

Lessons from George...

Hey all!  Hope this finds you well.

If you are interested, there's one last post from my time at the George H. Morris Gladstone Program.  It's a series of George-isms in flashcard format to help remember some of the important words of wisdom he passed along.  I'm planning to print some out to tape to the lid of my tack trunk.  (I know- DORK ALERT!)

Oh yeah, and some of the funny bits, too.

If you'd like to read all my recaps, you can access them here.

Chillin' With George...

Hi all!

First of all, my thoughts and prayers are with any who are affected by the tragedy in Oklahoma. I felt the need to count my blessings and hug my kiddos a little harder this morning.

This week I am so lucky to have the privilege of covering the George H. Morris Gladstone Program for Horse Junkies United, so I won't be posting much on AWIP. 

The program is a week of intensive training for the young US show jumping talent, aimed at providing guidance and support for riders with the potential to contribute to future US teams.
