I’ve recently cultivated an amazing dressage Spotify playlist, and it is populated with dance beats. I know, maybe not the expected music, but I feel like it’s actually perfect. It keeps you in a good mood even when circles get rather boring, and suits the incredible spring weather I’ve been enjoying. In weird times like this, it’s important to find happiness in the smallest of places, even if it’s just a playlist.

We don’t get to enjoy the Kentucky Derby this weekend, but that doesn’t mean we can’t relive past performances. Top amongst them has to be the 2009 upset of Mine That Bird, coming from literally nowhere and blasting past everyone in the absolute slop to take the top honors. Coming in at 50-1, he is one of only 9 geldings to win the race, and later finished 2nd in the Preakness and 3rd in the Belmont. [Mine That Bird 2009 KY Derby Video]
