More On The UCF Mascot “Pegasus” (And A Ride with Martha Stewart)
Monday, October 15 2012
By Jan Westmark-Allan During his tour with the World Famous Lipizzaners, Maluso II (known as Pegasus at the University of Central Florida) stopped by the Martha Stewart show – and the TV host jumped on for a ride! In my blog yesterday I shared the Sidelines Sidekick story from our November issue called “Maluso II: Big Horse on Campus.” The gorgeous Andalusian – a former star with the World Famous Lipizzaners – retired from his touring life and is now the mascot for the University of Central Florida, where he goes by the name of Pegasus! During his time with the World Famous Lipizzaners he appeared on the Martha Stewart show – and as you can see from the photo above, Martha jumped right on. (Martha is a horse lover and has her own horses.) Catherine Anne Cassidy, who was interviewed in our Sidekick story and was a knight that rode Pegasus at the UCF football games, also sent us a great collection of photos of Pegasus – and since only one photo could make it into the Sidelines November print issue, I am sharing them here

Lovin’ The New Alexus Range By SmartPak
Friday, October 12 2012
I’ve been privy to enough new product launches, tried and tried again new-to-market fashions and understand the great importance of not only riding top but looking top in the process (this means if you have a brown saddle you better be darn sure you’re sporting a brown girth and bridle!) thus I feel compelled to share a happening new range from the folks at SmartPak dubbed Alexus complete with the hip byline aesthetic, athletic, alexus! Schweet! The Alexus Hybrid Jacket is a nice tailored fit without being too tight and the contrasting black sides are slimming too.
