Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, Kellie Pickler and more young female stars are shaking up the country music charts in a big way, according to the cover story in the latest issue of Country Weekly. “Carrie, Taylor and I relate a lot because we each understand what the others are going through,” says Kellie (pictured above). “It’s real good to have close girlfriends in the industry.” Carrie modestly notes: “I’m not really sure about my impact on things. I do think maybe there have been a few of us that have opened the door and shown people what they were missing.” Also featured in the Country Weekly story: Miranda Lambert, Jewel and Julianne Hough.

From The Houston Chronicle, bad news about horse sales:
"I've seen it rough before, but I don't ever think I've ever seen it this bad," said Mark Riley, who has worked as an auctioneer for three decades. "To most people, horses are a hobby or a plaything or a toy. When the economy gets tough, the plaything is the first thing to go."
