Lovin’ The New Alexus Range By SmartPak
Friday, October 12 2012
I’ve been privy to enough new product launches, tried and tried again new-to-market fashions and understand the great importance of not only riding top but looking top in the process (this means if you have a brown saddle you better be darn sure you’re sporting a brown girth and bridle!) thus I feel compelled to share a happening new range from the folks at SmartPak dubbed Alexus complete with the hip byline aesthetic, athletic, alexus! Schweet! The Alexus Hybrid Jacket is a nice tailored fit without being too tight and the contrasting black sides are slimming too.

Olympic Sidelines – Arrived in London!
Saturday, July 28 2012
By Kim MacMillan July 24 th – Hello London! We finally arrived in London late on Tuesday evening, July 24 th , after a panic-filled trip to the Indianapolis airport much earlier the same day. We started out at “O’dark thirty”, as my father calls it, with plenty of time to get to my cousin’s house (she had agreed to drive us to the airport and store our car at her house for the next three weeks) and the trip went downhill from there with a flat tire and a torrential downpour complete with a dazzling lightening show that made it impossible to see where the road was! At one point we had to drive around a downed tree.

Rolex Kentucky – 57 Horses Will Start
Thursday, April 26 2012
The first veterinary inspection took place at Kentucky Horse Park at 3 p.m. today under sunny, balmy skies: 57 of the 58 horses presented were passed by the jury composed of Anne-Mette Binder (Denmark), Michel Assaray (France) and Nick Burton (Great Britain). The jury did not accept Llewellyn, ridden by Brittany Kart (USA), they also held two other horses and accepted them when they re-presented. It was a pretty parade of ponies, all things considered and the riders went all out, fashion-wise. We can’t hope to prognosticate in the same league as Jimmy Wofford, and we will admit with unabashed honesty that often sentiment and friendship drives our partisanship toward certain horses and riders. We certainly have a healthy respect for anyone who gets to the four-star level: it takes guts, determination and over the top horse craziness, but we digress.
