After working on the print article for the Equine Chronicle on "Healthy Living at Horse Shows" I proposed an idea of doing an article series about how to be healthy while on the road for horse shows (or, rather, any event). In doing so, I contacted a favorite health blogger of mine--Lindsay Livingston, who manages … Continue reading Article Series: Healthy Living at Horse Shows

Healthy Living at Horse Shows
I love horses. And I love fitness. In case you didn't know, I've run in two half marathons (training for my third now) and am an avid CrossFitter. I've always been active, but I've gotten more so as I've gotten older, and I'm obsessed with following healthy living blogs.

Throwback Thursday: Seasonal Tack Touch-Ups

Thinking of Collegiate Riding? Shoot a Video
One of the best things I remember from my years at Murray State University was competing on the equestrian team as part of the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA).

A Sparkling Personality from The Rhinestone Cowboy
Not only does Bob Giacolone have one eye-catching horse, but he does some pretty eye-catching work.

Throwback Thursday: When the World Came to Kentucky
Inspired by the Winter Olympics in Sochi, I decided to do a "Throwback Thursday" that involves the World Equestrian Games. I did a couple of special reports for the American Quarter Horse Journal's online newsletter, America's Horse Daily, on how Lexington was preparing for the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games. For residents of Lexington, … Continue reading Throwback Thursday: When the World Came to Kentucky
After the Proposal…
It’s the proposal that was heard all around the APHA World Show—the surprise marriage proposal between Kyle Crager and his then-girlfriend Kelley Goldsmith (now Crager) at the photographer’s booth in 2010. You’ve probably seen the photo pop up every now and then, especially during this time of year. Of course, Kelley said yes. The couple was … Continue reading After the Proposal…
