Riding In Style at the Biltmore Estate (I Rode the White Horse!)
Wednesday, October 03 2012
By Jan Westmark-Allan I rode the white horse at the Biltmore Estate today – looking pretty snazzy! Today I rode in style!! Yes, I rode a white horse around the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina.(ok not the one in the photo above). The perfect ride! (Which reminds me that I will tell you about the Perfect Paint soon – but first we talk about riding with the Vanderbilts!) I rode a horse named Hunter, a grey Arabian owned by a friend of mine. I rode with Brenda and Phoenix – Brenda knows the miles and miles of trails at the Biltmore like the back of her hand (hoof, in Phoenix’s case)

Great Facebook Photos: The Rest of the Story
Sunday, September 23 2012
By Jan Westmark-Allan I introduced our new Sidelines Magazine intern, Mindy Coretz, in yesterday’s blog and mentioned that she was a talented photographer. You may have already seen some of her great photos on the Sidelines Facebook page, and now I’m going to tell you “the rest of the story.” (If you are of a certain age you will remember Paul Harvey’s radio series called “The Rest of the Story.” If you are not of age, disregard all mentions of Paul Harvey and radios!) Did you see the “falling off” photo on the Sidelines Facebook page? Well here’s the rest of the story – and the rest of the pictures! From Mindy: Photo of the rider falling off: The rider in this image is one of my best friends and she is riding Tucker, one of my favorite ponies! We were enjoying a 75 degree afternoon in a field in Aspen, Colorado.

By Jan Westmark-Allan Mindy Coretz – new Sidelines intern extraordinaire Throughout the summer I had a wonderful intern named April Leonard working for me, helping me with the Sidelines website and Facebook page. When she told me she wouldn’t be able to keep working as an intern when she went back to college in the fall, my reaction was simple. I said, “April, college is overrated.
