Rider of the Week

Connie Trider has been riding horses since she was 4 years old. She comes from Three Mile Plains, near Windsor, NS. She has competed in the MBRA jackpots and exhibitions. She is shown riding her 9 year old, Maritime Bred Quarter Horse mare Star Dust Dee Bar
alias "Whiplash." These two not only chase the cans, they also give the cattle in the team penning competitions a run for their money. Watch for these two next year in the racing circles. Rider of the Week.

Horses in Unexpected Places

We found this week's horse in an unexpected place in the checkout line at the grocery store. No, he wasn't standing on his hind-hooves while buying carrots and apples! The horse is in the November 27th issue of People Magazine. The equine-patterned silk dress that Chloé designer Stella McCartney created and wore last month rode on to grace actress Kate Beckinsale at a recent premiere. Horses are McCartney's favorite animal, says a Chloé spokesperson, "and reminiscent of her mother, Linda, who was a very good rider." Photos show both McCartney and Beckinsale in the dress. Check it out next time you're waiting in a long line!
