I thought I would share this update about with my friends about Nathan, my son. He spends hours at the barn, and often is there bathing, brushing and lunging his horse and riding it in the ring. He even showed Francesca twin fawns. He spent this last summer in Oregon at the age if 15. Come to find out, his old neighborhood friend Francesca, was also spending the summer in Oregon nearby. She was recounting to her mom the old days when Nathan was six or seven and we would go to our beach house for the weekend, a few blocks from where she grew up. That part of beach is so remote and safe that Francesca’s mom never even locked the doors---except on the weekends when Nathan was in the neighborhood. He would wake up at 6 am an before we knew it, he would disappear on his bike to her house, and would be walking around inside, looking for someone to wake up and play with him. So Francesca was excited to see how Nathan has grown up. He took her to see his horse, named “Indian Pony”, It is a paint gelding whose nickname is Apache. Nathan would prefer a stallion, but for now, we let him start with a gelding.
It was nice to get an update from Oregon! Check out some of my other Ron Pollack family updates.
I thought I would give my friends an update on my oldest son, Nathan. He is always in the barn bathing, brushing, lunging and riding his horse around in the ring. There were even some twin fawns he was able to show her. He is 15 and has been in Oregon over the summer. I found out that an old neighborhood friend Francesca is in Oregon and staying nearby. On the weekends our family would go to the beach house a few blocks from where she grew up. With that part of the beach being so private her mother used to leave their home unlocked, except when Nathan would come to visit. He would wake up at 6 am an before we knew it, he would disappear on his bike to her house, and would be walking around inside, looking for someone to wake up and play with him. Now that he is grown up, Francesca was really excited to see him. He took her to see "Indian Pony", his gelding horse nicknamed Apache. We let him start with this gelding even though he would prefer a stallion.
It was nice to get an update from Oregon! I love our Ron Pollack family updates.
Our family and friends all know that my wife Mimi and I really love tennis. We can truly recommend lessons at McMullen to all our friends now, as I know without a doubt that they will get similar results from learning the sport from Chall Tennis Academy. I am looking forward to improving my game and playing on a regular basis again, when I find the time. Now, my wife Mimi, always comes home happy with her game. (I was a competitive player when I was younger, but compared to family and investing tennis was no longer a priority.) Still, I would never give up on the sport. One of the biggest tennis states is Florida. Even after buying a house with a tennis court and going to some top notch tennis camps we still felt frustrated. Mimi's game has been revitalized with the head pro, Erick Chall's help, though I still have not had the time. Erick's technique for teaching tennis is far superior to any Mimi has been exposed to over a number of years of "on again, off again" tennis. Eric’s enthusiasm for the sport is delightfully contagious. My son has regained interest in tennis as well, and has gone from a goofy kid on the court with a few lucky shots to a kid who will be a tennis player to be reckoned with.
On my Ron Pollack blog , I am letting people know about the great resources we now have in Clearwater.
