We, like some or perhaps even all of you, are off from work and visiting family and friends on this long holiday weekend.
So have a wonderful Thanksgiving, and eat lots of good food.
I’ll be back on Monday!

catalogs, catalogs, catalogs
Posted by Jennifer under miscellaneous | Tags: postaday |Leave a Comment
Here in the CAA office, we spent most of today sticking mailing tabs on our annual CAA book & gift catalogs so that we can mail them to CAA members. Each catalog (folded into a “self mailer”) needs four tabs … so with stacks and stacks of catalogs to be mailed … well, you get the idea. Naturally, I ran out of time to prepare a proper blog post.
But we finished the massive project, so if you’re a current CAA member, look in your mailbox early next week for your 2012 catalog!
This year’s catalog features books on carriages, driving, horses & training, history, art, harness, and more. Plus: the “gift” section of the catalog features calendars, CAA jackets and caps, CAA tote bags, and a gorgeous selection of scarves.
If you’re not a member but would like a catalog anyway, just give me your mailing address (write to me at caa_jennifer@windstream.net), and I’ll gladly send you one.

It’s late (about 10:30 p.m. now), and I’ve been working since 8:00 a.m. … setting up and running the CAA booth at this weekend’s Martin Auctioneers carriage auction and then, for the past couple of hours, downloading and editing photos and posting them in various places (but not here, sadly).
All of which means that this isn’t the blog post I intended to write today. But I’m about to fall asleep on my laptop. So my intended post won’t be written today after all.
If you’re on Facebook and want to see some photos from the auction, head on over to the CAA’s FB page. Otherwise, stay tuned here for the final two installments from Perryville and several posts about my (first ever!) trip to Martin’s fall auction.
Good night!

Sorry about my sudden disappearance from the blog last week.
I was on vacation but still had every intention of blogging each day. But then, luckily unfortunately, it turned out that the quaint old-town hotels we stayed at in several beautiful old German cities had no wifi.
Believe it or not, I was forced to actually take a break from blogging for the entire week!
We arrived home at 1:30 this morning, and I’m back at work today after just a few hours of sleep. So, needless to say, I forgot to bring my laptop, which has all the photos from Riesenbeck and from the rest of our trip.
So I still owe y’all some photos from the World Four-in-Hand Championship (more dressage photos and the awards ceremony, specifically), and then I’ll share some photos from other parts of Germany and from the lovely CIAT (Concours International d’Attelage de Tradition, or International Competition for Traditional Carriage Driving) we attended this past weekend in beautiful Celle, Germany.
Stay tuned!

… ha ha ha … get it?!
Someone at the Kentucky Horse Park’s International Museum of the Horse posted photos on their Facebook page (using the same title that I borrowed above), of a whole bunch of beautiful horse-themed stamps in the museum’s collection.
You can scroll through the photos here. For our (usually-carriage-related) purposes, see especially the colorful Mongolian stamps at the top of the second of the eight photos.
