We hope your new year has gotten off to a positive start! This is your reminder to stop and smell the roses (or the icy cold air, if you’re like Jessica Phoenix!) and enjoy this calm before the year kicks off in earnest.

Sponsor Corner: World Equestrian Brands
Saddle shopping can feel like speed-dating with your wallet watching from the corner. World Equestrian Brands cuts through the noise with a refreshingly simple approach: let the horse be the decider. Their team of professional saddle fitters brings 300+ years of combined experience and has worked with 10,000+ horses — and they’re not there to shove you into a saddle that “kinda-sorta” works. If they can’t fit your horse, they’ll tell you straight (and not sell you something that doesn’t suit). You can also find Amerigo and Selleria Equipe dealers/fitters listings and request a fitting right from their site here.
