1994
In the Pages of Horse Illustrated Horse tripping, a cruel event that takes place at some underground rodeos, became national news in 1994 when a bill was introduced in California to ban it. Exposes on Hard Copy and 20/20 drew attention to the cruelty, and we covered the topic in July 1994. Fortunately, California Governor Pete Wilson signed the bill into law in August of 1994. Several other states have also banned horse tripping.
Today, Chester Weber is synonymous with the sport of Combined Driving in America. In February 1994, we identified him as “the youngest driver at Gladstone” in our write up of 1993’s World Pair Combined Driving Championship, held at the United States Equestrian Team’s headquarters in New Jersey.
Riding instructors everywhere found themselves cringing in the early 1990s when midriff-baring fashion spilled over from street clothes to riding clothes. Low-rise breeches hadn’t even become the standard, so shirts must have just become shorter. Today’s Horse Illustrated editorial content features 100% fewer bellybuttons than the July 1994 issue did, guaranteed.
