That’s one of the things I’ve always liked about SBrianne — she’s passionate about her horses and they become part of her family. Brianne’s passionate about many things and I enjoyed catching up with her for our cover story. The first time I interviewed her was about eight years ago, following her win in the ASPCA Maclay Finals and her appearance on the Animal Planet show “Horse Power: Road to the Maclay.” If you’re like me, you might have followed Brianne’s adventure Jan Westmark, Editor-In-Chief on “Horse Power.” I remember watching each episode with my daughter and several girls from our barn. It was fun being part of the lives of young riders in a sport we knew about — and on I hope you’ll be inspired by our story on SIRE Therapeutic a reality show! If you’re up for a blast from the past, catch all the Equestrian Center in Texas. So many wonderful horses and episodes on YouTube.

And make sure you read funny lady Kathy Serio’s column as she The equestrian world lost a great horseman recently with shares her ideas on barn building — or should I say what not to the passing of Bruce Duchossois — a man who accomplished do when building a barn. so much for equestrian sport. I think you will be touched by our tribute to this much-loved man who dedicated his life to horses. The staff at Sidelines sends our condolences to his family and friends. Don’t miss While my heart was saddened with the loss of Bruce, we Kerstie Allen’s have a story on a wedding in Colorado in this issue that made new column me smile.

This probably won’t surprise most horse people — I mean who has time to squeeze Photo by in a wedding during circuit? Luckily, the happy couple did have LuckyIndian Fotos time to head to Mexico during a week off for a more festive celebration.
