Andrew Murphy BHSII- my long term trainer and one of two Senior Instructors at TTT - the Training the Teachers of Tomorrow Trust - set up by Tom and Jennifer Sewell at their farm in Surrey in 1987 to create a forum for the education of dedicated equestrians to improve their knowledge, their riding and especially their teaching skills - has, through his and the Trust's ideal of correct classical horsemanship, taken Brodie and I to a level many would not have thought possible with a 'ordinary' little horse in this age of high priced dressage horses. More insight into this exceptional place with its comprehensive diary of workshops, seminars and clinics can be found at www.ttttrust.com
***********************************************************************************************************************
Gill Maybury - a personal friend of many years and experienced chiropractor is based in Surrey and specialises in equines and canines. Gill has over 35 years experience with horses having competed up to advanced eventing and advanced medium dressage herself and now has the pleasure in seeing her daughter develop a successful Pony Club and eventing record. For more information about Gill and her training. qualifications and expertise please visit her website at www.gillmaybury.co.uk

Superpet The Horse Shop - have very generously provided bandages, yard boots for me and other essential items on our shopping list for London 2012 - thank you Annabel for the discounts and speedy ordering service to make sure we are suitably equipped in Greenwich!! For more details on the shop and services provided together with promotions/sale items etc visit - www.superpethorseshop.com

Musto have provided paddock jackets for the lady members of the team to be worn at the opening ceremony and during the competition along with gilets for Catherine as groom and me to wear in and around the Village and field of play. Their generosity will mean that our team will have a smart cohesive appearance at the opening ceremony and into the Games themselves - this was totally unexpected and I cannot thank them enough for their genuine enthusiasm and desire to assist the US Virgin Islands team! www.musto.com
***********************************************************************************************************************
The Mark Davies Injured Riders Fund - The support I received from the MDIRF was priceless – both before I came home from hospital and afterward with funding for extra physio. I cannot begin to remember all the assistance they gave - such was my state of mind and incapacity at the time. Suffice to say they made a very difficult situation bearable not just for me but I had two young children at home who were also struggling to come to terms with the severity of the situation - as much as they could at 5 and 7 years old - I felt overwhelmed by the thought of dealing with the day-to-day routine and I did not know how we were going to cope with no immediate family to call on. MDIRF were there every step of the way with reassurance, necessary information and - especially - moral support, willing me to make as complete recovery as possible. I believe we all need to support the MDIRF as much as possible as of course 'accidents do happen' whether we like it or not!! For more information please visit www.mdirf.co.uk
************************************************************************************************************************
And now for something completely different - the U S Virgin Islands - a truly special place with each of the three islands - St Croix, St Thomas and St John all uniquely different and with so many attractions from world class diving, top 10 beaches and duty free shopping - not to mention the wonderful climate! I have always said that it was just the best place to grow up - and the best place for a holiday - for a little taste of what each island has to offer why not take a trip to www.visitthevi.com to sample a taste of these beautiful islands!
