Our founder and publisher, Samantha Charles, started Sidelines in 1988 as a polo newspa- per. Samantha launched a publishing business because of her passion for polo, and 25 years later we are still going strong. Sidelines has grown – and changed – but it still continues to be the ride of a lifetime. I asked Samantha to write our “My Story” feature this month so she could share the story of how Sidelines came to be, and I think you will enjoy her journey that has led to our silver anniversary. Our special 25th anniversary section is a great ride down memory lane, and I encourage you to travel back in time and immerse yourself in our story. From our “25 Things to Love About Sidelines Magazine,” to our “25-Year Journey” that features a front cover from every year, I think you will love this issue. If you are a longtime reader you will relish this blast from the past; and if you are a new reader you will enjoy learning about our evolution from a polo newspaper to what we have become today. We are now a slick monthly magazine devoted to the people and personalities of the polo, hunter, jumper, dressage, eventing and foxhunting world. We cover the horse world from coast to coast, across the pond and in Canada. We are fondly Sidelines founder and publisher Samantha Charles and editor Jan called the People Magazine of the horse world and, in addition to introducing you Westmark-Allan to horses, riders, trainers and owners in the horse world, we also sponsor dozens of major horse shows and events. If you haven’t discovered our social media presence, then I invite you to like our Facebook page, visit our website and follow us on Instagram and Twitter. We always have great contests running via social media, and in honor of our 25th anniversary we held a special contest for horses and ponies 25 years or older. We called it the “Oldies But Goodies” contest and I was touched by how many beloved equines have reached the quarter-century mark. During the contest, our Facebook friend Kate Almy, of Rhode Island, sent us a message saying, “Thank you for the joy that your Oldies But Goodies contest postings are bringing into my life every day!” Kate, I couldn’t agree more – the contest turned out to be a wonderful blessing. One of our contest winners, Misti West, of Pennsylvania, also expressed her gratitude about our contest. She said, “Thank you so much, I am so proud of my old man! I really appreciate that your magazine has chosen to spotlight these older horses and recognize that they’ve still got a lot to give to the equestrian community.” Check out the “Oldies But Goodies” contest pages in this issue to learn about Misti’s horse, Mr. Clipper. I will give you a hint that Mr. Clipper has easily passed the 25-year mark – he is 32-years-old and Misti has had him since the day he was born! Now that’s a blessing! I asked our Sidelines staff if they had any “Oldies But Goodies” and our California “West Side Story” columnist, Holly Hugo-Vidal, had quite a gem for us – a photo of her on legendary show jumper Idle Dice, who lived to be 27-years- old. Idle Dice, or Ike as he was called, had quite a career with Rodney Jenkins. While Holly’s photo is a gem, in the early ‘90s Sidelines reported on another gem – show jumper Gem Twist. Another true “Oldie But Goodie,” Gem Twist also lived to be 27-years-old. Make sure you visit out “25-Year Journey” feature in our anniversary section to see photos of Gem Twist. This past year I’ve encouraged everyone to Catch the Sidelines Spirit, and this issue truly encompasses that spirit. Thanks for being part of our journey Jan Westmark-Allan Editor-In-Chief [email protected] Sidelines writer Holly Hugo-Vidal on the legendary Idle Dice Photo courtesy of Holly Hugo-Vidal 4 SIDELINES SEPTEMBER 2013 FOR HORSE PEOPLE • ABOUT HORSE PEOPLE FOR HORSE PEOPLE • ABOUT HORSE PEOPLE SIDELINES SEPTEMBER 2013 5 6 SIDELINES SEPTEMBER 2013 FOR HORSE PEOPLE • ABOUT HORSE PEOPLE FOR HORSE PEOPLE • ABOUT HORSE PEOPLE SIDELINES SEPTEMBER 2013 7 8 SIDELINES SEPTEMBER 2013 FOR HORSE PEOPLE • ABOUT HORSE PEOPLE FOR HORSE PEOPLE • ABOUT HORSE PEOPLE SIDELINES SEPTEMBER 2013 9 10 SIDELINES SEPTEMBER 2013 FOR HORSE PEOPLE • ABOUT HORSE PEOPLE FOR HORSE PEOPLE • ABOUT HORSE PEOPLE SIDELINES SEPTEMBER 2013 11 12 SIDELINES SEPTEMBER 2013 FOR HORSE PEOPLE • ABOUT HORSE PEOPLE FOR HORSE PEOPLE • ABOUT HORSE PEOPLE SIDELINES SEPTEMBER 2013 13 14 SIDELINES SEPTEMBER 2013 FOR HORSE PEOPLE • ABOUT HORSE PEOPLE FOR HORSE PEOPLE • ABOUT HORSE PEOPLE SIDELINES SEPTEMBER 2013 15 16 SIDELINES SEPTEMBER 2013 FOR HORSE PEOPLE • ABOUT HORSE PEOPLE FOR HORSE PEOPLE • ABOUT HORSE PEOPLE SIDELINES SEPTEMBER 2013 17 e TheHorse ShowLegend of George Morris George, in 1950, shows off his amazing form over fences.
