Loping

Published by • Nov 18th, 2009 • Category: Guest Bloggers, Odds & Ends

by Miss Morgan | The feeling of flying, that moment when you feel like you’re in a dream. Nothing else is important. Your hair is trying desperately to break free of your ponytail. The thud of hooves in sync with the beat of your heart fills your ears. The world around you is only faint to your consciousness…



When Horses First Found A Place In My Heart

Published by • Nov 15th, 2009 • Category: Horse Girls

by Violet Inkpen | Ever wonder when your love for horses started? I am trying to recall my first memory of loving horses but frankly, I hit a dark wall. I can’t remember ever NOT loving them! Maybe I was born loving them…



Do Horses Sense Ghosts?

Published by • Nov 13th, 2009 • Category: Odds & Ends

by Peanut | I want to tell you something… Me and my friend took a ride on this trail. At the side of the trail, there is a creepy old house. No one lives in it and the roof is covered with moss — it’s obviously been abandoned. So we trotted up a little hill, and we were now going in the direction of this house. Our horses had been okay the whole way, until now…



Timetable Terrors

Published by • Nov 12th, 2009 • Category: Guest Bloggers, Horse Advice

by DianaLUV♥ | If you own/rent a horse and you have a super busy timetable, you can find it hard to squeeze things in. I am lucky enough to have parents who will give up time on Saturday mornings to bring me to my riding lesson, where I attempt to fill my desire of horses for the week ahead. If you have long school hours and extra activities (besides horse riding), then you may want to take a look at how to fit in an hour and a half or more for spending time with that special animal…



Horsemanship

Published by • Nov 9th, 2009 • Category: Guest Bloggers, Horse Girls

by Raven | I’ve never been a really outgoing person. I don’t like looking strangers in the eye and I sit by myself a lot at meetings. I don’t talk a lot to people I don’t know well and I tend to be really shy. I mostly let others take charge and I’m content to follow. Then I started doing horses…



Breezy With a Chance of Hot Cider

Published by • Nov 5th, 2009 • Category: Odds & Ends

by HorseFeathers | I am writing to you from my old wooden desk, here up north in the States. My little tawny, long-haired cat is purring away like a mountain lion next to the fireplace. The air is definitely chilly and I can already see my breath in the air. Thanksgiving is right around the barn and we all have something to be thankful about — HORSES…



All Those Ribbons

Published by • Nov 1st, 2009 • Category: Guest Bloggers, Showing & Sport

by Michelle | In the world of horses, shows can prove to be a very important part in any equestrian’s career. Though always winning is not necessary, it can never hurt to get a few blue ribbons. This blog is mainly for the girls competing at their first show, which is almost always a simple dressage test. In other words, this is a guide to perform that training level test like you own it…



Feeding Your Horse

Published by • Oct 29th, 2009 • Category: Horse Advice

by Allison | Feeding is probably the least thought-about aspect of horse ownership. Sure, everyone knows it’s important to feed your horses. But the right amount and type of feed can be more elusive for many horse owners. Here are some steps you can follow to get on the right track…



Get The Most Out Of Your Riding Lesson

Published by • Oct 24th, 2009 • Category: Guest Bloggers, Riding Advice

by Michelle | When you go for a riding lesson, you always want to make sure that you get the most out of it. Though many of us are lucky enough to have our own horse and endless riding time and lessons, a lot of us (including me) can only ride once or twice a week. These types of people still want to improve, but it is obviously harder. Here are some tips on how to get the most out of you lesson…



Horse and Rider: A Flying Team

Published by • Oct 21st, 2009 • Category: by Madelaina, Odds & Ends

by Madelaina | There’s this thought I’ve been dwelling on as I tried other hobbies (most of these attempts I think I failed, but that’s not exactly the point). You see, when you’re doing gymnastics, dancing or even singing, you often do it by yourself and alone…
