There have been a few changes to the schedule for Pancho's funeral.  Wed. Night remains the same..... Visitation from 5pm to 8pm.  There will be a prayer service at the funeral home (Magnolia Funeral Home on FM 1774) at 6:30pm Wed. Night.
 
ON THURSDAY..... There will be Mass at the Catholic Church in Magnolia (about 1/2 mile from the funeral home) at 2pm.  Immediately following Mass, the burial will take place.  After the funeral, there will be a reception at the Church.

Fran Dearing and MackinawThe dictionary defines dressage as "the training of a horse in precision movements and the execution of such movements."  A bare bones definition at best.  

Dressage is a fascination, an obsession, and an art.  An art, that builds on a relationship between a rider and a horse.  Built on a relationship of trust, respect, and an appreciation and understanding of the horse's structure, posture and locomotion.  Dressage is a shared exploration and discovery of the explosive power of the nature of both the human and the beast and the calm balance of acceptance.

Whether you ride Western, English, Barrels or just for fun, dressage will make a difference in the reason you ride, for the pleasure of it. 

 

Riding is only artful when both horse and rider display pleasure.
