Horse lovers and readers alike will all love the newly released sequel, A Horse to Treasure, by Juliana Hutchings. The young author wrote her first novel, A Horse to Remember, when she was 14-years-old. Upon her college graduation from the University of South Carolina Juliana said, “I never planned on making it a series, but I like to keep busy so I sat down and started typing. Six months later the book was complete.” Juliana has also started her own publishing company, Little Egypt Press. A Horse to Treasure is available on Amazon as a digital e-book and already has five star reviews.

What a loss – Sidelines Magazine offers our condolences to eventer Allison Springer on the loss of her recently acquired partner Lionheart. The Westphalian gelding, previously ridden by William Fox-Pitt to the silver medal in the 2012 Olympic Games, was euthanized after the second of two abdominal surgeries, which reveled that a vascular accident had occurred in the colon and both the small and large intestines were irreparably damaged. What a loss for both Allison and the United States eventing community.
