I just bought this book online and sure would have loved it when I was in junior high! This is really complete guide to horses, including history, crafts, knowledge and more! With Christmas coming, know that it is on Amazon for as little as $6.00!

This is a particularly funny excerpt from The Horse Show Mom’s Survival Guide by Susan S. Daniels:
Many a new Horse Show Mom has said “I will never use a porta-potty!” God finds this amusing, of course, and shows us who is really in charge. “Never” soon becomes “only in emergencies” evolving to “just this once,” [...]
Horse Trivia: From Nature of Horses
Posted in Books, Trivia on February 20, 2009 | 2 Comments »
As I have mentioned earlier, Nature of Horses by Stephen Budiansky is one of the best horse books I have ever read. One of the fun tidbits I picked up is the fact that stallions often have a preference for mares that are the same color as the stallion’s dam. Interesting, huh? If you are a stallion [...]

The Nature Of Horses

One of the best horse books ever written is The Nature of Horses by Stephen Budiansky. I think it is a must read for anybody who interacts with horses, as it provides a great understanding of the mind and anatomy of the horse. This is important information to take to the stable, as it makes us all better horsewomen! [...]

Henry
This is my baby Henry, who is a huge ham! He turned a year old in August. And as you can tell from his portrait, I really hope he likes horses as much I do. Since my husband actually reads my issues of The Equine Journal, horses should be in his genes! I know there are kids just months [...]
