July 04, 2012. Help a reader identify this saddle blanket. A reader sent me some pictures of a saddle blanket she has (see end of post for photos), and wondered if I could help her figure out where it is from. I asked a couple friends who know a bit about saddle blankets, and we hazarded a few guesses (below) but we didnt know for sure. Do you know? Its definitely not Native American, and it doesnt resemble any weve seen from Africa (such as Ethiopian or Morroccan). Do any readers have ideas? Posted at 0...

Laquo; Beautiful harnesses at the St. Alfio festival. Fiction: Zoom ». June 24, 2011. The plumes of St. Alfio. I must admit my favorite part of the ornate harnesses of the horses at the St. Alfio festival in Sicily is the plumage. The plumes on these horses reach epic proportions, and are unlike anything Ive seen elsewhere. They are simply spectacular! Credit to Al Zammataro. And his friend for taking and submitting the amazing photos for this series! Posted at 09:09 AM in Adornment. Fun Stuff to Buy.

March 08, 2012. This is Zoom, said Raoul, handing me the reins of a too-pretty bay gelding. I sighed inwardly.

He seemed relieved, and another yellow flag went up in my head. The horses are a little excited when we leave the yard, he said. But you know how to control them? Continue reading "Fiction: Zoom" ».
