The photo above is a bronze horse in the National Archeological Museum, Athens, Greece, taken by Tania Evans while researching an article on a rare breed horse rumored to be related to the military leader Alexander, king of the ancient Greek Macedon empire.
Tania has been writing award-winning, non-fiction articles about horses for 40 years. As a journalist, she has interviewed high profile figures in competition, philanthropy, medicine, and reported on shows here, in the Caribbean and in the UK. Also, many years as a photographer shooting article subjects has given her focus. Between keeping horses fit and sound for hunting, polo or eventing - and studying equine anatomy for accurate photographs - appraisals link nicely!

special paper liner to keep helmets clean
Playing polo in the Caribbean, I found my hair soaking wet with perspiration under my helmet. Between the dust and the Caribbean heat, my helmet was getting dirty and, well, smelly. Experimenting with fabrics and papers, I came up with a liner that would keep my hat clean inside but wouldn't ad any weight or heat. It's perfect for shared helmets, too - riding, hockey, baseball, skateboarding, even hard-to-clean dress hats.
