            Hi,Just wanted to send you some pictures of Dessa.  She is doing 
            great and we just went to our first Horse Trial in about 2 years...I 
            have a 13 month-old daughter.   Dessa was amazing. Just 
            wanted you to see how beautiful she is.
 I bought Dessa as a 4 yo when I had been riding only 5 months.  I 
            fell in love with her picture over the internet and can remember how 
            excited I was the day we brought her home.  She was foaled in the 
            spring of 1999, sired by Excaliber of Flying W Farms.  Her dam is 
            Flying W Farms  Moment in Time.  Over the next two years we began to 
            learn the ropes of dressage and jumping together.  I began eventing 
            and Dessa and I competed in 3 schooling shows over the next 2 
            years.  After a year and a half break from showing while I had my 
            first child, we relocated to North Carolina.  Dessa and I got back 
            to work, and we competed in our first recognized horse trial in two 
            years at Lumber River Horse Trials at the Carolina Horse Park.  
            Dessa is a brilliant cross-country horse and we had our first double 
            clear stadium round.  The last four and a half years have been an 
            amazing journey  for me.  I could not ask for a kinder, more willing 
            partner than Dessa.  And I can only think that the best is yet to 
            come!
