Horse Quote for the Week

~ Helen Crabtree, Saddle Seat Equitation

Country music icon Lyle Lovett accented his western attire with a pair of custom made boots and his 2000 AQHA/MBNA America® Challenge Championships belt buckle for a special advertising spread in the October issue of GQ magazine. Lovett's Challenge Championship buckle came courtesy of his brown mare Love First's first place finish in the Centaur Texas Challenge Trial at Retama Park.
