Instride Edition

Sometimes a horse comes along because the timing is right. Sometimes it is because the horse is right. And sometimes, as Iowa amateur competitor Kari Jewell discovered, both things happen at once. Diime Piece arrived in Kari’s life in January after an unexpected change of plans left her searching for her next show partner. At the time, she was simply looking for a horse to take her into the next chapter of her Western Pleasure career. Kari could not have known that the mare she was about to meet would become part of a much bigger chapter in her life. Read all about Kari and Diime Piece, featured on our cover this month, inside the latest issue of InStride Edition magazine. It’s also where you’ll be introduced to Christie Jefferson, who rekindled her childhood passion for model horses and established Dark Horse Studio in Indiana, where she creates custom horse replicas for clients. We explore the legacy and evolution of the All American Quarter Horse Congress as the world’s largest single-breed horse show returns to Columbus, Ohio. And, we bring you coverage from several of the summer’s World Championship Shows. All this plus all our regular features and more inside the newest issue of InStride Edition.

Our team has been making the rounds across the grounds capturing all the behind-the-scenes magic—barn aisle laughs, final touch-ups ringside, quiet moments of preparation, and the incredible partnership between horse and rider. There is truly nothing quite like the atmosphere here, and we are thrilled to drop our first batch of candid photos from the show!
