The Horse Illustrated staff works hard to bring you the best of the horse world each month. But when we’re not in the office we’re usually at the barn, or any place that’s horsey! In addition to living equestrian lives, we’re always finding fascinating horsey stuff that we think you might enjoy beyond the magazine. The Near Side is our place to share what goes on  in between issues at Horse Illustrated.
