Our lovely 4 y/o Swedish mare, Manhattan by Vermouth, has been progressing nicely with hunter/jumper trainer, Aimee Boyer at Harmony Hill Farm in Massachusetts. I met Aimee in Florida where she was barn manager and assistant trainer for Team Tate. I was so impressed with her riding...she has a great dressage position and really understands basic work. In addition, she has a tremendous work ethic. So, when she left Florida on her long trek home, she stopped in Maryland and picked Mattie up from Sarah's barn in Maryland. She and her sister, Meg, have really done a great job with her. Her basic walk, trot and canter are more uphill and balanced and she loves to jump. Aimee is really impressed with her good mind...she leads the way on the trail rides (at 4!) and is pretty unflappable. She learns quickly and has a great work ethic. She should mature 15.3ish. She has been to a couple of hunter/jumper shows and was Reserve in baby green hunters. If she doesn't sell in the next month, she will be accompanying Nicolai home to Texas.
