Adventures in Riding Racehorses from A Collection of Madcap Escapades
This was a) awesome and b) informative, with lots of background about position and training while galloping racehorses. No way do I have the guts for this but man, it looks like fun.

What to wear foxhunting from Hand Gallop
Foxhunting is where the show ring got a lot of its specific rules, so it makes sense that there are careful rules about what to wear when!

That review on the Crypto Aero feed was really interesting! I keep seeing such mixed reviews on it on fb it was nice to see a trusted, honest report.

I think it has a dumb name, and so while intellectually I trust my trainer and I’m sure they made a good call when they started feeding it, emotionally I’ve been kind of rolling my eyes. Which makes me wicked mature, I know.
