:Bella Cavalli Canadians: Nicki Velozo

Hi Nicki - My apologies for not responding sooner, but I just came across the post. Thank you for the warm welcome! I bet it does seem strange to have a Canadien in the South! I was looking for a "made hunter" & tried out many horses all over the East Coast. I wasn't searching for a particular breed, just an experienced field hunter. As luck would have it, our Hunt Master had just put her horse up for sale, as she needed one who was more of a jumper & had already purchased another horse. She let me try him out for a few months & I fell in love with him, as he so enjoys the Hunt & riding with the hounds (we are a drag hunt, so we do not actually chase live fox, just the laid scent). So, after trying out so many horses, I ended up with one where I already boarded. Definitely made for an easy adjustment, as he's been there for over five years! He is such a fun horse & I'm lucky to have found him. All the best, Miriam

I'm glad you made it home and I wish you a speedy recovery!

Hi Nicki! I went to Rochester and looked for you this past weekend but I think I was too early. One of your students said you would be along later. I hope to get to meet you at another time! We had fun at the festival, then went over to Double G tack and dropped a hundred bucks! I love that place.

Hi Nicki,

Your super close!!! I live in Dover. My Canadian Sport Horse named Buzz although he was born with the name Titan. I'm trying to find out if he is registered although all I have right now is his import papers. I'm been trying to get into the Equine Academy and Myhre's, I'm an equine massage therapist. I got Buzz in Jan 09 to use as a demonstration horse to show people massage and stretching techniques on their own and what to really look for in terms of tight muscles, or "knots" and how to remove them. He went to his first clinic as the demonstration horse in Feb and loved every minute of it. He had 12 people all feeling his muscles standing and poking at all angles and just stood there. It was great! I wasn't sure what to expect with a Canadian as most warmbloods are "hot" but he's just amazing!

Hi Nicki, The agenda looks awesome - much easier to read and keep organized. I can't think of anything that needs to be added, so let me know if it's ok to send the link out to everyone. And how is the best way to send it out? Thanks!

Hi Nicki, thanks for the welcome. and I'm happy to listen and watch everyone grow with there Canadian horses. I don't have a Canadian at this point, but I am looking for one that I can afford, there was an add on Craigslist for weanlings and yearlings at a most affordable price. I am really wanting something that I can ride sooner than latter, I'm in my older 50's and just getting older and getting a young horse will put me in my 60's before I can really ride. I don't plan to show (ever) I just want a nice trail horse so I can enjoy my life with the partner. If anyone knows of a nice (prefer mare) for sale at a reasonable price I would like to know about him/her, I live in GA. so going to see the horse would be a problem, I would need to rely on the owner 100% for truthfulness.

Thanks Dianne

Hi Nicki,
My Canadian is a 13 year old gelding, and his name is Celtic Acres Lalou Fabian. I went to Canada 5 years ago to find a Canadian horse, and I brought him home with me. He is an awesome horse, and I am very happy to have him. I look forward to obtaining information from other Canadian horse owners from your web site. Thanks, Joanne
