If Red Ryder had his way, the Harkaway Farm banner would probably have his name on it rather than “Freels Family.” After all, everything revolves around him, and he’s most definitely in charge, so why shouldn’t his name be embroidered on the green and maroon canvas? “We always do things ‘Ryder’s’ way,” said Hannah Isop, […]

When Kamille Marcussen returned to the saddle in July of 2019 after a three-week hiatus, few of her barn friends knew where she’d been, much less why she had a gauze bandage taped to her neck. Since her thyroid cancer diagnosis in June, she’d been keeping it quiet. “I’m always really happy-go-lucky, always really positive,” […]
I recently created a TikTok account. Call it my COVID-19 indulgence. As a journalist and newspaper editor during a global pandemic, devastating wildfires and the biggest civil rights movement in 50 years, my life has not slowed down one bit.

When lifelong high-performance groom Mario Martinez Granados traveled to the 2010 Aachen CHIO (Germany) with Candice King, he sent his son, Mario Martinez, behind-the-scenes videos and pictures. It was thrilling for the young boy in Mexico who aspired to follow in his father’s footsteps. Ten years later, at the age of 25, Martinez has built up […]
