The recent Winter Olympics were notable for many reasons, but it was the controversy surrounding 15-year-old Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva that dominated headlines. While it was doping allegations that captured the most attention, the behavior of Valieva’s coach was equally disturbing.

Mikala Münter has been riding in the international Grand Prix ring for nearly two decades, but she’s perhaps best known for her partnership with Janne Rumbough’s My Lady.

The reality of life with horses is that, while it would be lovely to have every horse that comes into your life be The One, selling horses from time to time is an inevitability—certainly for those who do this for a living and for many who don’t as well. Maybe the horse is not going to be […]
