The Advocate pets issue is here. We chose bulldog Benito for the cover, and it’s no wonder, as he modeled several hats for us. But Harley Cozewith’s horse Chevy is the star of Advocate photographer Benjamin Hager’s video, below.
Chevy is a gorgeous horse, and Hager got some terrific shots of him. But Cozewith, who is director of operations at the Museum of Nature and Science, is a real character. She’s full of one-liners: “Mama shops at Target. Baby wears Prada,” she told us, regarding the $150 shoes her horse requires every three months.
Owning a horse is very, very expensive, but it is a passion for Cozewith, who first decided she wanted a pony at age 6. Incidentally, we featured two other horse people for this month’s cover story. Susan Yost, whose dog Loki is featured, keeps a horse in Waxahachie. And Laura Bruner, whose adorable boxers, Jake and Bella, make an appearance, rode horses competitively from the time she was a little girl until she went away to college.
