Photo Shoot Gone Bad! (The Perfect Paint Was Not Perfectly Perfect)
Wednesday, October 17 2012
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

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

By Jan Westmark-Allan Congratulations to the Winner of the Perfect Products Regen-x EQ contest! Frankie Sperry of San Tan Valley, Arizona I love all of the contests we run on the Sidelines Magazine Facebook page. I love the photos that are submitted and I REALLY love the stories that come with each photo.
