News on Claudia's Students
News from Lacey Elmer: "Just wanted to send you some information about how my 12-year-old Thoroughbred gelding Freeman's Folly aka Brego finished out our 2007 year. We mostly just Event but I take a lot of dressage lessons from Claudia Misner as well as participate in local Hunter/Jumper shows. But Eventing is definitely my passion. We were the 2007 Mid America Combined Training Association (MACTA) Reserve Champions for the Novice Level. And were 5th in the Overall Standings for all levels. The MACTA is an organization of 100 plus Eventers from Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and Illinois. We also earned the Reserve Championship in the Working Hunter Division for the Southwest Missouri Hunter Jumper Association for 2007. Brego has only been jumping and learning dressage for two years and he always gives me an great ride!"
Katie Alms, daughter of Thomas and Laura Alms, has been accepted as a working student for German Olympic rider Hubertus Schmidt. Her duties will commence after the 2008 Olympics.
