No Singing and Dancing In Our “West Side Story” (A Great Profile on Trainer Archie Cox Instead!)
Thursday, October 18 2012
by Editor
By Jan Westmark-Allan I met Holly Hugo-Vidal when she was living in Tryon, North Carolina a few years ago. I lived in Asheville, North Carolina – not far away – and I met Holly in Tryon for dinner and interviewed her for a story. We became friends and after she moved to California, she checked in with me to see if I needed a writer on that side of the country

Photo Shoot Gone Bad! (The Perfect Paint Was Not Perfectly Perfect)
Wednesday, October 17 2012
by Editor
By Jan Westmark-Allan Spirit back to being the Perfect Paint (although he is sticking his tongue out) while wearing his reindeer antlers with his ears up! A few days ago my sister-in-law and her two daughters came to the barn to meet Spirit, the new Sidelines mascot (and my new horse). I have coined him the Perfect Paint – and up until the day of the photo shoot he was perfectly perfect

Sidelines Spotlight: American Women Shine at Burghley (Way to go Sinead Halpin and Allison Springer!)
Wednesday, October 17 2012
by Editor
By Jan Westmark-Allan Now that the November issue of Sideline s is on the news stands (you can see it free online if you have a print subscription also!) there are several stories that were cut from the issue because of space — but they are still great stories and I want to share them with you!! MiMi Falb wrote a wonderful on-the-scene story on the success that American eventers Sinead Halpin and Allison Springer had at the Burghley Horse Trials following the London Olympics. It’s a great story and we were thrilled with the success these two young ladies had. Enjoy the journey as you ride along with Mimi, Sinead and Allison! Allison Springer riding Arthur IV in the dressage phase at Burghley.

More On The UCF Mascot “Pegasus” (And A Ride with Martha Stewart)
Monday, October 15 2012
by Editor
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
