Never Fall in Love With a Horse
The sad story of Barbaro's race at the Preakness.
Unfortunately, America didn’t know the rule, and last spring, we fell in love with a horse called Barbaro. But we weren’t the first to fall. This extraordinary article in Vanity Fair recounts Barbaro’s story from the inside — through the eyes of the owners, trainers, doctors and jockeys who helped hone him into a Kentucky Derby champion, and then tried to save his life after his devastating injury at the Preakness.

Estes Park: A Resort With An Inferiority Complex
With great horse shows, how hard could it be to brand Estes Park?
As it now stands, the website is static. I’d place plenty of videos on it. Panorama sweeps, wildlife sequences, downtown walk-abouts, concert and horse show performances. I’d show people enjoying Indian crafts, fishing, hiking, horseback riding, snow-shoeing, golfing. I’d do views from the aerial tramway.

Participating in horse shows gave her name recognition and access to “the exceptionally wealthy families who participate in the upper realms of the equestrian circuit.”

More Alike Than You Might Think
We would have never thought that cosplay and horse shows have anything in common, but now we do!
After spending the weekend at a horse show, I suddenly realized that anime cons and horse shows have a lot in common. Far fetched though it may sound, here’s proof beyond a doubt that equestrians and otakus have more in common than first meets the eye.
