During some free moments during our annual planning meeting this week, we flipped through some old issues of The Chronicle of the Horse. The magazine was started in 1937 (that's right, we'll be celebrating our 80th anniversary next year!). Going through old issues is addictive—there are always reminders of not only how different the world is today, but also in how some aspects of life with horses don't ever change.

The images below are taken from the Dec. 22, 1939 issue of what was then known as just The Chronicle.
