If you live in the Washington D.C. area, there is a store where where you can purchase things that are guaranteed to please you (and any sisters you might have) no matter what the age: The Galloping Grape, which sells horse saddles and wine. » 1/08/14 3:30pm 1/08/14 3:30pm

Obviously this is a story out of the UK. It's the Britishiest British story ever Britted. The scene: Coddington, Nottinghamshire. We deal not with a fox wearing a feathered cap and tunic, stealing from the rich to give to the poor, but with a horse chosen to be a bridesmaid. Putting the mare in marriage. » 11/04/13 12:30pm 11/04/13 12:30pm

A woman in Manchester, UK, tried to order at the drive-thru window at McDonald's, but was denied. The problem? She was on horseback. Clearly in the midst of a Big Mac Attack (so hungry she could eat a horse?), the woman was undeterred: She decided to enter the restaurant and order at the counter. And she took the horse … » 7/22/13 3:15pm 7/22/13 3:15pm

Hasbro — the toy company behind Transformers, GI Joe and My Little Pony, loves to squeeze every cent possible out of a brand. Hence toys turning into TV shows and movies. And now, with MLP, there's a new "brand extension," Equestrian Girls. » 5/13/13 4:30pm 5/13/13 4:30pm

Humans have expected horses to trundle us and all our crap around ever since our sore-footed ancestors came upon the first majestic equus gazing alone in a vale and thought, “Huh, that thing could totally carry some of us around for a little while, just until our corns go away.” Before horses knew what was happening,… » 4/28/13 2:00pm 4/28/13 2:00pm

The American Girl company leaves many feeling torn between its promotion of pricey consumerism and the dolls' celebration of history and education. One thing is certain though, the story of Felicity and her horse Penny is one that offers hope to the suburban girl-the horseless girl with a wild heart. » 3/28/13 6:00pm 3/28/13 6:00pm

Probably my favorite part of watching the storm coverage yesterday (for hours, obsessively, swaddled cozily in survivor’s guilt out here in Seattle) was when CNN, scrambling for new Sandy updates, took a lengthy detour to discuss adorable ponies. » 10/30/12 4:50pm 10/30/12 4:50pm

Mitt Romney's visit to the UK would have been disastrous enough if he'd just shut up after pissing off the British press, the Prime Minister, and the mayor of London. But he had to take it a step farther and go beyond insulting his host country and their Olympic efforts — in an attempt to get people to think he was… » 7/30/12 1:10pm 7/30/12 1:10pm

On Saturday, Chantal Sutherland became the first female jockey to win the Hollywood Gold Cup in the race's 73-year history. Hooray! Sutherland successfully piggybacked on an exceptionally swift-footed quadruped named Game On Dude, earning a cool half million in prize money and a chance to compete in the $5 million… » 7/08/12 12:00pm 7/08/12 12:00pm

Okay, technically, this video and its subjects are from Australia, but, hey (or in this case "haaaaaay"), we won the revolution and I think that gives us a right to claiming a line-dancing horse. Wait, what did you say about that failed logic? CAN'T HEAR YOU. U-S-A! U-S-A! » 7/03/12 7:10pm 7/03/12 7:10pm

Rafalca, Mitt Romney's frou frou Olympics-bound dressage horse, nets the family a $77,000 tax credit per year. Since Normals who produce mere human children only get a $1,000 tax credit per child, it therefore stands to reason that Rafalca Romney is worth 77 human children. Certainly more than your entire family. » 6/20/12 6:00pm 6/20/12 6:00pm

Because the Romneys are just normal, regular, down-to-earth human people like you and me—and certainly not extremely lifelike robot replicants that eat civil rights and poop out money—it's totally normal that they not only own a horse, but also had the time and resources to teach it to fucking dance. The Romneys' fancy … » 6/19/12 12:15pm 6/19/12 12:15pm

Scandal from the Santorum camp: the bevested holy roller with less self awareness than a dog licking its balls during a dinner party has downplayed his past — and that past could destroy his reputation as someone with almost completely repugnant views. It seems that throughout his political career, while comparing gay… » 3/23/12 5:15pm 3/23/12 5:15pm

This would actually be an ingenious marketing scheme — that is, it would be ingenious if horses were people. It takes an exceptionally gentle horsie to not crack those delicate iPad screens with its hooves, and more cracked screens equals more cash money for Apple because, as well know, horses can't talk and so would… » 3/10/12 3:30pm 3/10/12 3:30pm

Yesterday, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge hit Calgary on their tour of Canada, where they donned cowboy hats and had a knee-slappin' good time. » 7/08/11 2:55pm 7/08/11 2:55pm
