I’ve written quite a bit about Tareq and Michaele Salahi and their America’s Cup of Polo. They have used polo to open doors for themselves, and have damaged its reputation in the process. Highly respected and talented polo players like Nacho Figueras roll their eyes with just the mention of the Salahi name. For those [...]

 
My friend, Melissa Stirling’s family lost their 24-stall horse barn to the snow storms that wreaked havoc on Virginia. Now, with the insurance company and builders pointing the finger at everyone but themselves, they are in need of help. Hidden Creek Farm in Ruckersville, VA holds a summer horse camp for kids, teaches lessons to children and [...]

Update: I spoke to Donya Blaze, Editor of Media Bistro, and they will post a statement about Work to Ride in the article online. Seems Betsy Rothstein received info from a reliable source and didn’t just cut & paste from LNS. She should have verified with Work to Ride [...]

 
For those interested, you can see the Citizen United for Ethical Growth (CUEG) 2005 NY Board of Elections Financial Disclosure Report here. Many of these people were contacted by The Washington Post in 2007 to see if they knew they had contributed to the CUEG PAC. The people on the list were from the Washington, DC area [...]

The Washington Post is leading the media on the White House “Crasher-gate” story. Yesterday, I received more media inquiries about Tareq and Michaele Salahi and my experience with them. I knew the day would come that I would have to share this saga publicly. I figured it would all be dragged out when and [...]

Lezlie Hiner (photographed at left speaking at The Courage Cup’s Courage & Hope Gala in 2008) embodies “passionate living”. She has taken polo, the ”sport of kings,” to help Philadelphia at-risk youth stay in school. Many would ask, “Why polo?” Goodness knows, I’ve been asked that question numerous times over the years [...]

I apologize to my readers for not posting yesterday. I needed to take the entire day to do some much needed accounting work for my CPA. Wake Forest University has a phenomenal Accounting Department, so I’m very happy that I took some business classes in addition to my economics courses while I was in college. [...]

Dear Miss A,
What do you think is the ideal time to have kids? I was married last spring to a wonderful man. I have been feeling a little insecure because it seems that many of the women who were married around the same time as me are already having children– they’re ready for the next [...]

If you are unfamiliar with Work to Ride, the program was created in 1994 by Lezlie Hiner. Work to Ride is a non-profit, providing disadvantaged urban youth from Philadelphia with constructive activities centered around horsemanship, [...]
