II. READ/ PERIODICAL
WALL STREET JOURNAL 10/27/2016
“Horse Lovers Pony Up For Equestrian Friendly Communities”
“Although equestrian facilities are costly to maintain—and rarely turn a profit for developers—horses are powerful marketing tools who earn their keep in home sales, advertising a bucolic, outdoorsy lifestyle to top-tier buyers who may never have sat in a saddle.”

III. LISTEN/PODCAST
“THE WEEKEND PLAIDCAST” 10/22/2016
Featuring Tom O’Mara on Collegiate Equestrians, Stacia Madden & TJ O’mara
I listen to audible and podcasts NON-STOP while exercising or driving around completing errands. This week's “Weekend Plaidcast” was a definite favorite. I was pulling into my garage as the show was nearing the end with an interview featuring feedback from Stacia Madden on the controversial courses of this year’s Pessoa Medal in Pennsylvania. Needless to say, I sat in my car and listened to the end of the show because it was so insightful.
“The Weekend Plaidcast” is featured on “HORSES IN THE MORNING”, part of the Horse Radio Network.

IV. STYLE
STREET TO STABLE LOOK
Mark and Graham Suede Boho Bag
I have been searching for a stylish tote that can hold a laptop, transition to errands and not look out of place at the stable. Additionally, I needed the size to be functional to hold my items, but not so big that it looked like a shopping bag. Finally, I wanted a neutral color that matches my everyday wardrobe that usually consists of black, cream and/or denim, as I get tired of switching my daily handbag to match what I am wearing.
My Mark & Graham Boho Tote was ordered on Saturday and it arrived Wednesday, inclusive of an embroidered modern style of my personal monogram (no added expense) and perfectly wrapped. Available in multiple colors.
