Horses in Unexpected Places

The stampede is on in Calgary! ... and fashion forecasters are predicting a stampede toward western-style fashion this fall. Saturday's Globe and Mail (July 7th) included a feature called 'Ride 'em, cowgirl' where a lady in a skirt and tuxedo shirt is leading a horse (we know... nobody really does that!) and show casing the western style garb. So clean the dirt off your cowboy boots... this year you can wear 'em to town in high fashion!
