the right cover photo is harder than it may seem! With the theme of “farm fi x-up” on our minds, The Equiery staff searched through our archives for just the right pic but nothing we had just said “cover!” And so, on a late afternoon with just a few days until press to go, our managing editor, Katherine Rizzo, wrangled up some minis and started snapping away! Thank you to Nicole Duerte and Alex McNeill for the use of Kimber (pictured) and Gem (who wouldn’t stay still long enough for a good shot).
