Ladies jodhpurs, or riding pants that go to the ankle, have metamorphosed from drab functionalism into high fashion. Designer jodhpurs are advertised online just like dresses and shoes, with the name telling you all you need to know. Once as strictly functional and conventional as a uniform, these riding pants can now be colored like the rainbow and sexy as short shorts.

Seattle Slew died on May 7, 2002 at the age of 28. One of only 11 winners of horse racing’s prestigious ‘Triple Crown’ he is by default considered among the all time greats in thoroughbred racing. Of the eleven horses to win the Triple Crown, he is the only one to do so with an undefeated record. He was also notable due to his humble beginnings, and is the only Triple Crown winner to have been purchased at public auction. He retired to stud in’78 and sired over 100 stakes race winners including’84 Kentucky Derby champion, Swale. Slew’s offspring have earned a combined $76 million dollars at the race track. Slew wasn’t the most majestic looking creature by the lofty standards of race horses, but was possessed with the heart, toughness and courage of a professional prizefighter.
