This video is a loving reflection on Anne Frankowski’s many equestrian adventures in Oregon from 2012 through 2015. Anne was our first German exchange student and returned to visit each of the next two summers. She fell in love with our Paso Fino mare, Maia, and Maia returned her love, convinced that whatever Anne asked, Maia could do. From doing equestrian team, to trail rides throughout beautiful Oregon and at the California coast, to learning to do tricks, play at liberty and ride bridle-less , teaching Maia to swim, riding in a parade and passing their Parelli Levels 1, 2 and 3 together, this girl and horse were meant for each other. This Christmas, our Maia is moving to Germany to her forever home with Maia’s beloved Anne – who is also the daughter of our hearts. Music by Mary Ann Kennedy perfectly reflects the love they share for each other and is used with the permission of the artist.
