October 14, 2022Melissa W.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Did you know that in 2022, it is estimated that over 340,000 people will be diagnosed with breast cancer in the US?

In Honor of All the Queen's Horses: Top US Equestrian Colleges

September 19, 2022Melissa W.

Queen Elizabeth II was laid to rest today after over 70 years on the throne. It's no secret that she had a deep love of horses and it's been reported that she owned over 100 of them in her lifetime! Her first horse was a Shetland pony given to her when she was just 4 years old and she continued to regularly ride up until she was 95, only stopping because of doctor's orders due to her mobility issues. While she received private lessons in the UK growing up, there are several colleges and universities in the US with an equine science option. That's right; a degree in horses, and it's more than just riding.

September 09, 2022Melissa W.1 comment

Queen Elizabeth II died yesterday at Balmoral Castle surrounded by the Royal Family at the age of 96 after a record 70 years on the throne.

While she undoubtedly lived a very privileged life within the confines of Buckingham Palace, the future Queen needed to be educated to prepare her for her role in the Monarchy.
