The Adashi/Markel Amateur Championships Moves West for the Spring

Hoag, Combining a Career with Horses

Hoag, who moved west to the entertainment capitol of the world, continues to develop new mysteries, and was in fact on deadline to deliver her latest thriller to her editor on Monday after the show. Tami also let us know she has more adventures and another book brewing in her brain, for one of her favorite characters, troubled ex-cop Elena Estes from her popular novel Dark Horse, a story of Dressage and deception which took place during the Winter Equestrian Festival. This book which stayed on the NY Times Best Seller list for a long time after it was released in paperback, featured some thinly veiled characters some of us think we know.

Many Amateur riders Like Hoag have busy “other” lives and work hard to fit in both their training and their jobs which often supports their horse habit, and Shirley Johnson has created a program which honors their efforts and achievements.
