We know you don't want to brag but we would just love it if you would share a snippet of your world (horsey or non horsey) with us.  A short phone interview with a photo of you participating in your non-horse related activity. That's it. Do you have writing skills? Submit your own writeup or maybe nominate someone for a feature.  email carol with suggestions.

Here's a teaser for the inaugural column.

This familiar Member was a professional dancer. 
Who is this fab dancer? The a nswer and her fascinating story will be in October E-News.
