Happy Birthday Mary Phelps
 Viert
allen feest - It's party time
Renaissance lady Mary Phelps celebrates her birthday
on 9th November 1999.
As one of the first professional female photographers
in the equestrian business, Mary Phelps captured a notorious
position on the equestrian scene. Considered to be the
best dressage photographer in the US, Mary often covers
magazines and shoots for horse owners, breeders and
riders, however she prefers using her imagination which,
time and time again, results into top level articles
for her web site http://horsesdaily.com.
Besides photography Mary is also a certified insurance
agent for the American Bankers Insurance Group. Together
with her husband JJ Hathaway, Mary covers the largest
equestrian shows in the world, ranging from the North
American Young Riders Championships to the Olympic Games.
While JJ handles the videography, Mary captures exclusive
pictures on film.
In the two years that Mary and JJ have been my partners,
they have offered me so much; an amount of wisdom which
I will never be able to return. Positive thinking, professionalism
and business strategies were mentored to me through
these Florida residents. Even more, thanks to our personal
encounters in Denver, Colorado (NAYRC 98), Arnhem, Bad
Honnef and at our own barn, Mary passed on her passion
for photography (and perfection) to me. Mary Phelps,
may 1999 be a joyful, successful and happy year for
you. You're the best.
