APPY BIRTHDAY TO US!!!
This issue marks the completion of our first year and the start-off of our second. The
Izzy Bella & Friday’s Child
May-June issue for 2007 was our kick-off edition. WOW, what a bunch of changes
in the year, all because of you!!
May / June 2008
The magazine industry is a lot like our show jumping community. People
work together, even when they are in a “competition” of sorts. I’d like to
take this opportunity to extend a special thank you to Cheryl Erpelding, of
Riding Magazine, for allowing me to pillage her knowledge when I need Founder/Publisher
IZZY BELLA
to. We are truly two different types of magazines and I appreciate her
openness when I am in confusion.

It’s pretty amazing the amount of programs
available to the West Coast Riders, and pretty Design & Art Direction
amazing the caliber of riders we have that we can
send. Be sure to take the time and support these
Working Lens Productions
projects when you can, volunteer or donate. The

input of the exhibitors and most riders have no idea
