I see this question all over the internet. "What do I do to become a horse professional?" usually coming from a teenager or someone very early in their career. I understand - you love horses and want to have a lifetime with them. Working with horses would be so fulfilling, and you know you'd love yo[...]
Did you know there's a museum devoted to the sport and culture of equestrianism? Okay, so it does include other things, but there's a lot of horse going on here. It's called the National Sporting Library and Museum, and it's located in hunt country/horse country, Middleburg Virginia. They offer[...]

It's one of the best times of the year.... Upperville-mas, where we celebrate being together with beautiful horses, and the ones who have been really good this year receive ribbons from the mythical St. Claus Bride!
