What a wonderful young lady!
10-year-old organizes fundraiser for horse rescue group - CBS Atlanta News
This is a very special young lady indeed. I don't know of too many 10 year olds that would think of holding a fundraiser to help save horses, so to read this article about this girl is awe inspiring! Maybe there is a hope for the future after all!

The South Florida Horse Show Association has posted their Show Dates for the 2013-2014 Show season! It's time to get the finishing touches on your horses and your riding! If you happen to need your horse looking in tip top shape, I can recommend a great person to get your horse(s) show ready with body clipping and bathing. Contact Lynn Zuccaro at 305-522-2244. She is the absolute best!

Another South Florida problem for horses...
Scratches
Scratches is something we see a lot here in the South Florida area, especially this time of the year. Our horses are turned out about 12 hours a day and even though they get groomed on a day to day basis, they still end up with scratches from the wet. How many of you combat this problem?

Using a whip....
Whip Use in Elite, Non-Elite Show Jumpers
Good Lord, what in the world are we teaching our young riders? It is pretty sad that the use of spurs is monitored but the use of a whip is not. I understand that both are considered aides; however, it seems to me that at the amateur level whips are being used more as a crutch!

Consignments are an Equestrian's best friend!
Did you know that both Broward and WPB counties have several consignment shops for your to save $$ on your next tack or clothing purchase? Here are some that I have found: On Course Consignment located at 12773 W Forest Hill Boulevard #108 in Wellington, FL; Everything But The Horse 3125 Fortune Way #4 Wellington, FL; Horsing Around 10054 Griffin Road in Cooper City, FL. Wouldn't it be nice if Miami had a consignment shop too? If you happen to know of one that I have missed, please feel free to message me so I can add it!
