	GUEST INTERVIEWS JUNE 2010 Published on 10-07-2010 We asked 2 of our recent guests to say a few words about their holiday week at Archino: Brian Greenway did a 6 day dressage course and Jennifer Harnett did a 6 day work-in-hand course. It was a week full of learning and laughter…sharing the passion with great people. Thank you both… and not forgetting Brian’s wife Jennifer, who came along as a non-riding guest and entertained us all along the way…may we see you all again here one day.

		NO MORE PAIN FOR PÁSCOA Published on 02-12-2009 http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=1626&id=100000443480072&l=a37bd38efe With great sadness we must tell you that dear Páscoa lost his fight for life early on the morning of Thursday 22^nd October 2009. He was with those who loved him to the end. A very special and sensitive boy… his footfalls so light you felt like you were riding on a cloud. This is one of the last photographs of him, taken in May this year by Diane Von Schoen…showing his elegant and effortless passage. Never forgotten.
