Our Scottish friends James, Elaine and their daughter Querida were visiting our local Scottish friends George and Mary last week. While they were here, we celebrated Elaine's birthday at Ola Lola's and Querida got to ride Chocolate. It was only here second time ever on a horse.She said she was scared at first, but by the time her "lesson" was over, "our" Elaine said she was the best new rider she has ever seen. Querida certainly did look comfortable on Chocolate. She trotted and cantered around the ring. And Chocolate was listening and paying attention to her, much better than he listens to me.
Querida is just 14, a beautiful, multi-talented young lady. Not only does she ride well, she is an amazing golfer. When she was here in PR the last time, she played the Royal Isabela golf course with Stanley and Charlie. She tied Stanley! She was invited to play in the European Junior Championships in Spain last year. And she just started playing when she was 13. I probably don't need to say this, but her parents James and Elaine are very proud!
They left Friday morning to go back to Scotland. It gets harder for Querida to leave every time she comes to Puerto Rico. She loves it here. I know just how she feels.
