My dad's birthday was on October 1 and our family decided we would celebrate it in style by going to Portugal to visit his family and then head over to Paris, France to see the 4 Écoles Équestres show. We invited members of Grelo Farms to join us and were so happy with how many people did!
What an opportunity it was to see the classical dressage academies of Europe ride together: Vienna, Spain, Portugal, and Saumur. The event was made even more special with the presentation of a unique book for my father made by our dear friend, Beverly Furer.
Bev commemorated my father's 70th birthday by compiling the photos and stories of members' experiences of studying with him. Titled All In The Same Pocket, it brings together the memories of so many of those involved in bringing not only their dreams and aspirations to life, but those of my father as well.
Thank you, Bev, for creating this very special gift and thank you to the members of our extended family of Grelo Farms for joining us in Paris to celebrate my dad's birthday. It was truly an honour and pleasure to spend this time with you!
