All information is for internal use only. Important Note: Don't forget to give us the link to your PROFILE page. There are many people with the same names and we want to make sure we invite the right person to our closed group.

Our first Horse Lovers Summit was in 2020. We had so much fun together that we decided to cruise together in 2021. That was when the Covid pandemic changed our world. Our trip was postponed by CCL until January 2022. We had a wonderfully fantastic time on both, far beyond our expectations. We hope to see you in 2023!
