I've been given a clean bill of health and every 3 months I go back for check ups. October 7 was my first race back in 2 years. Im looking forward to getting back into racing throughout the winter and next season. Along with my racing I am still currently putting on my Riding Schools which seem to be a big hit in the midwest.
