Congratulations to the Sidelines “Who’s Your Daddy” Foal Photo Winners
Tuesday, November 27 2012
By Jan Westmark-Allan One of my favorite photos in the foal photo contest – little Autumn with her not-so-little ears!! Adorable! I loved every single photo that was sent in for our Sidelines Magazine “Who’s Your Daddy” Foal Photo contest – and, all I can say, is that I am glad I wasn’t a judge!! I wanted everyone to win! Odd, I never was one of those parents who thought all the kids should get a trophy or a ribbon while competing on the horse show circuit – but when it comes to our Sidelines contests – I want EVERYONE to win! Let’s face it – the foal photos were amazing – cute, cuddly, fuzzy, adorable, precious, darling, (if I got out a Thesaurus I could probably keep going!) – I loved them all. I want to thank our panel of judges who had the tough job – and the sponsors for providing prizes for this contest.

Desperate for some Lovin!
Sunday, November 25 2012
Last week during a routine trail ride Marysville trainer, Amy Allison, captured some beautiful photos of our boy Doin My Best. This 5 yr old gelding, once insecure and even fretful of the great outdoors is now excelling as a trail horse. It has taken a couple months but with the help of a buddy and consistent routine he has come to enjoy the wide open spaces. He is now able to go out with a buddy or alone and have a leisurely stroll around the farm, down the road, and through the hay fields. Best has a lot to offer a rider. He is a tall 16.1h+ elegant gelding who is coming out of his shell. Strategically placed in the first stall by the tack room Best begs for attention every time someone walks by. He truly loves his new life and is longing for a person to call him their own.

Tredstep Ireland is Serious About Socks High Performance Details Make All the Difference
Thursday, November 22 2012
DUBLIN, Ireland – 26 November 2012 – Tredstep Ireland wants riders to know that what you wear under your boots can be a competitive advantage. To prove it, the company puts as much emphasis on the design and attention to detail in every pair of their socks, as they do in their best-selling Renaissance Collection of boots. As riders themselves, Tredstep designers know that socks that slip, bunch or leave a rider’s feet and legs clammy and uncomfortable can distract from a great ride, whether schooling or competing.
