Looks can be deceiving. Case in point, the undeniable adorableness of The Hot Topic Of SpringSong, a 14-year-old flashy Welsh cob buckskin pony. People see him at dressage shows and remark about how cute he is, what a wonderful mover he is, and how they want to take him home for their grandchildren, his owner […]
I didn’t want a lot for Christmas, but then Andrew Ryback Photography posted a photo of Crossover 4 ridden by Chloe Reid in the $150,000 Lugano Diamonds Grand Prix CSI3* at the World Equestrian Center—Ocala (Florida). And, whelp, now I’m singing an off-key Mariah Carey with the rest of equestrian social media going, “All I […]
Kalinka Van’t Zorgvliet has spent the past few years racking up wins with rider Karl Cook at the most prestigious show jumping events across the country, including at Winter Equestrian Festival (Florida), the Hampton Classic (New York) and the Great Lakes Equestrian Festival (Michigan).

There’s a new option for owners looking for a reliable, safe and aesthetic option for their farm. Some things haven’t changed much in the hundreds of years since humans first domesticated horses. We still use metal bits, steel shoes and leather saddles. The same is true for how we house our horses—for centuries, the four-board […]

In the late 1990s, Angela Millon was a busy pediatrician. She’d worked hard to get where she was, giving up horses for college, working her way through medical school and residency, and starting a family with her husband, John Millon. But after 20 years out of the saddle, the horses came calling when she and […]
Last year around this time, I was reflecting on the 2022 competition season and feeling like my 9-year-old German Riding Pony, Dubai’s Dream, had done a remarkable job learning to have confidence and step up to the plate in the show arena. As I pondered 2023, I concluded it was time to set a mighty […]
In her first year as a professional, and less than two weeks after officially acquiring the horse she rode, 19-year-old Skylar Wireman and Tornado notched the first Longines FEI Jumping World Cup victory of their respective careers. Wireman, of Bonsall, California, and her own Tornado bested a six-horse jump to win the Longines FEI Jumping […]
Harrie Smolders, Walter Lelie, and Niels Fabrie don’t organize many SLF Horse Auctions, but when they do, you know they have found a group of very special horses. That’s exactly the case for their Christmas Auction that runs December 19-22. Just in time to get your loved one, yourself, or your client a valuable stocking […]
So far this week at Black Dog Stables: One seasoned rider forgot—repeatedly—the correct way to hold her reins. Another put her half-pad on backwards. A third forgot to fasten the straps on her horse’s blanket. A kid attached her throatlatch buckle to the loose end of her cheekpiece. A 10-year-old arrived in the arena for […]
