British Eventing Discovers Journalism (£10 at a Time)
What they actually introduce is a paid registration system for journalists, photographers, and content creators, because nothing says “supporting independent media” quite like an admin fee.

Exceptional hoof care is priceless. Freddy has been slowly reshaping Pixie’s hooves over time so she balances. She now can stand with her left hind in front of her right hind which never happened before due to her sacro injury long ago. Freddy is incredible.

Any thoughts on why leaders with below average results seem to stick around for equestrian sport, while their counter parts in other sports are replaced over night?

Two Kinds of People, Cause Dirty Buckets Never Lie
Cleaning returned horse gear taught me a brutal truth some people prove you wrong by rising to the occasion. Others prove you right by not even trying. And the difference smells exactly as it sounds!

When Horse Magazines Still Smelled Like Ink and Bloodlines Mattered
Before social media decided what mattered, a horse magazine did. And somehow, it managed to teach an entire generation how to think, argue, dream, and obsess, about horses.
