By Jan Westmark-Allan The love of a horse or pony can be a powerful thing in a young girl’s life! It’s almost difficult to put into words the importance that horses play in our lives - they are our joy, a warm shoulder to cry on, our therapy, our love, our exercise, our friend, our social outlet and our soul mates!! Imagine if you were an underprivileged young girl with a load of bad stuff in your life and someone introduced you to the great and amazing love of a horse or pony. Enter a program called Heroes N Horses – a program that helps young girls and changes their lives for the better. The Heroes N Horses program has done so much for these young ladies, but now the program itself is in trouble! Heroes N Horses has two locations – one in Ocala, Florida and another in Wellington, but they might have to close down if they can’t raise funds

It’s Easy to Be Inspired by Para-Equestrians! (Looking Back at London)
Friday, October 12 2012
by Editor
By Jan Westmark-Allan I love a good inspirational story or a person who inspires me to be a “better me.” That’s exactly what happens when I watch the Para-Equestrians. It makes problems I have seem insignificant – to watch these amazing riders and what they have accomplished, despite their limitations.

Does the Perfect Paint Sit on Command? (Apparently So!)
Thursday, October 04 2012
by Editor
By Jan Westmark-Allan Sit Spirit Sit. Good boy! My search for the Perfect Paint included a long list of details (I am a good shopper and like to make lists!!) but never once on the list did I write: horse must sit on command!! Now that I think of it, however, it is a pretty cool item to have on a “wish” list – and lucky for me my wish is about to come true! As it turns out, I didn’t have to look far to find the Perfect Paint. Samantha Charles, the publisher of Sidelines Magazine, just so happened to have owned a Perfect Paint at one time and put in a call to the people she sold him to.

by Lisa Molloy Since moving from Kentucky to Virginia Beach in July, I hit the ground running and have not stopped. Working in partnership with highly respected charities ReRun and Akindale Thoroughbred Rescue and with an open door policy for The Exceller Fund, I opened a new facility close to the Virginia/North Carolina state line that is a showcase for retired Thoroughbreds looking for second careers and new lives away from the track, all made available by nationally recognized charities
