If you have a passion for fashion then you will love this issue because it’s truly a fashionable ride. Even if you aren’t a trendsetter when it comes to style, I’m sure you will find inspiration as you flip through our special fashion section. And maybe it will ignite a passion for fashion and before you know it you will be rocking the runway – even if the runway is your barn aisle! Speaking of having a fashion for passion, the photo of me is during my 10-year-old equestrian fashionista phase. Well, maybe not. But I did love wearing my riding clothes and while I may not be smiling in the photo, I promise you I was thrilled to be dressed for the barn. My “supermodel” pout probably had something to do with the fact that stopping to take a photo meant we were wasting precious seconds that could have been spent with the horses. As horse people, we know that spending time with the horses is what it’s all about. As you read the stories in this issue, you will notice a common theme among the artists and designers – they are not only passionate about horses, but they find inspiration in them as well. I love the “My Story” feature each month – written by a person in the horse world about their life. Robyn Noble penned this month’s story and she has both a passion for fashion and for horses. Her parent’s own a jockey apparel company and thanks to their inspiration, Robyn’s own line of equestrian clothing is a success. I think you will enjoy reading her story and discovering how she thought she wanted to be a jockey when she was young – but the call of the fashion world won out. Jan Westmark-Allan – an equestrian fashionista from an early While the equestrian fashion world is full of delightful surprises, age! as you will see in this issue, I know many of you love watching the high-end fashion world, too. If you are a fan of watching celebrities on the red carpet, then you have probably seen stars wearing dresses designed by Badgley Mischka. What you may not know is that Mark Badgley, half of the famous design team, is a horseman. Learn more about his life as a fashion designer and an adult Dana’s Doodles amateur hunter in our story in this issue, including the fact that he has been known to make his own show jackets for the hunter ring. In addition to fashion articles, this issue brings all kinds of summertime fun. From young riders in Colorado to a young girl who rescued a racehorse, this issue is a great ride. Holly Hugo-Vidal, who writes our West Side Story column, takes us to California to meet Peter Lombardo who has found success in the ring on both the East and West coasts. We also travel to Canada to meet show jumper Kim Farlinger and to Tryon, North Carolina to meet eventer Beth Perkins. Thanks again for being part of the great Sidelines adventure and don’t forget to visit us on our website and on Facebook, too. Next month we will take a stroll down memory lane as we celebrate our 25th anniversary – 25 years of covering people and horses in the equestrian world! So saddle up and come along for the ride as we celebrate how to “Catch the Sidelines Spirit!” Jan Westmark-Allan Editor [email protected] “Like” us on Facebook Visit our website at www.sidelinesnews.com 4 SIDELINES AUGUST 2013 FOR HORSE PEOPLE • ABOUT HORSE PEOPLE FOR HORSE PEOPLE • ABOUT HORSE PEOPLE SIDELINES AUGUST 2013 5 6 SIDELINES AUGUST 2013 FOR HORSE PEOPLE • ABOUT HORSE PEOPLE FOR HORSE PEOPLE • ABOUT HORSE PEOPLE SIDELINES AUGUST 2013 7 8 SIDELINES AUGUST 2013 FOR HORSE PEOPLE • ABOUT HORSE PEOPLE FOR HORSE PEOPLE • ABOUT HORSE PEOPLE SIDELINES AUGUST 2013 9 10 SIDELINES AUGUST 2013 FOR HORSE PEOPLE • ABOUT HORSE PEOPLE FOR HORSE PEOPLE • ABOUT HORSE PEOPLE SIDELINES AUGUST 2013 11 12 SIDELINES AUGUST 2013 FOR HORSE PEOPLE • ABOUT HORSE PEOPLE FOR HORSE PEOPLE • ABOUT HORSE PEOPLE SIDELINES AUGUST 2013 13 14 SIDELINES AUGUST 2013 FOR HORSE PEOPLE • ABOUT HORSE PEOPLE FOR HORSE PEOPLE • ABOUT HORSE PEOPLE SIDELINES AUGUST 2013 15 16 SIDELINES AUGUST 2013 FOR HORSE PEOPLE • ABOUT HORSE PEOPLE FOR HORSE PEOPLE • ABOUT HORSE PEOPLE SIDELINES AUGUST 2013 17 eRocky Mountains Born In The Rockies By Carrie Wirth mom and I came out for a lesson.
