Becoming A Horse Person – Again
Wednesday, September 05 2012

What a sight! Jan and Mo. He was my first true love! I have spent my entire life with horses. Take one look at the photo of me as a kid and you will laugh – or relate! What a bedraggled little mess I was – but I loved that pony.

A Look at Del Mar Race Track
Sunday, August 12 2012
by Editor
Holly Hugo-Vidal, who writes the “West Side Story” column for Sidelines Magazine, recently visited Del Mar Race Track and did a great photo journal of her “Day at the Races.” Holly captured part of the giant mural in the lobby of the Del Mar Race Track (can you spot any celebrities?) and then went to the stable area where she spotted a lone washing machine that is responsible for lots and lots of laundry! “I love the washing machine,” Holly said! She also discovered the best way to dry bandages if it’s a sunny California day! Photos by Holly Hugo-Vidal. Part of the mural in the lobby at the Del Mar Race Track. Del Mar Race Track shows off its California style with a multitude of palm trees Best thing to do on a sunny California day

By Lukas, as told to Courtney Zimmerman
While Sidelines Magazine isn’t in the habit of letting horses take the reins and write their own stories, it’s almost impossible to pass up letting the “World’s Smartest Horse” tell his own story. … [Read more]

Houndwalking
Thursday, July 14 2011

Young foxes are tumbling out of the den, playing with grasshoppers, learning the ways of their neighborhood. So it goes with foxhounds who were born last year, making their debut with the pack and following their elders who mastered the intricacies of the chase in prior years. The Huntsman and Whipper-In have worked with the puppies since the day they were born, teaching them rudimentary manners

CEqE 201 – Getting On With It
Sunday, July 10 2011
by Website Editor
Well, sooner or later every rider buys a ‘cheap’ piece of real estate and we’re no exception. We were in a jumping lesson on Saturday (only yesterday, seems more like a week, but we’ve got our nose back to the wordsmithing grindstone and time takes its own line…) and Lord Peter was acting spooky – noticeably so, compared to his relatively calm demeanor for the past three months, truth to tell. Later we realized that the last time he was on this sort of sensory alert (stallion on the lookout for danger to his herd) was last summer when… oops, getting our tongue over the bit in terms of this anecdote

Young Entry
Thursday, July 07 2011
by
A pack of eight and a half couple (children, not hounds) met on the kennel lawn early mornings this past week to learn the basics of Foxhunting. Led by the Huntsman and the Whip, the pack learned basic hunting etiquette, how to avoid accidents in the field (holes, slippery roads and wire fences) and the language of the hunting horn in the classroom, improving their riding cross-country and over jumps in mounted sessions. Riding abilities and reasons for loving the sport ranged widely but the group was united in its enthusiasm. Cheshire campers are introduced to Ivan Dowling, Huntsman, and Stephanie Boyer, Whip, at the Kennels. "Aunt Wendy" ("Grandmom" to one camper) ably led the group through introduction to the staff and hounds, supported by a large contingent of volunteers from the community. Ivan Dowling, Huntsman, talked about the hounds before releasing them from the kennels onto the lawn.
