A Family Trip to Sunset Polo at Great Meadow

When I find a great horse activity for my whole family, I'm going to jump on it. I have three kids, and it's not easy finding an event that's both for adults, but kid friendly.

The Saddle Club Movie – “The First Adventure”

I realized recently that a long time ago, I posted an overview for one of The Saddle Club movies. I was full of promises for more, and then I never did another one. I know this must have devastated everyone, so it's time to revisit that glorious time of our lives when we lived vicariously through t[...]

International Velvet (1978) – An Overview

International Velvet is the sequel to National Velvet, an adorable old film about a girl who races her horse in the Grand National. I loved National Velvet - part of that is nostalgia to watching it as a kid, and part of it is that it's just a good movie! After recently re-watching National Velvet[...]
