Anything that can go wrong will go wrong. That’s Murphy’s Law. It’s also been called sod’s law or Finagle's Law. If you ride or own a horse, you’ll know that Murphy’s Law is a strong force. You’ve probably experienced it yourself. No matter how carefully you’ve prepared, how much ...

It’s hard for many of us to picture a horse in our minds, without seeing a particular breed. And, it’s difficult to believe that there was a time when there was virtually no horse breeds as we know them today. Just a few short centuries ago, if you had asked someone what breed th ...

Everyone needs a mentor. We all need those people who lift us up when we are down, help us see the possibilities, and support even our smallest steps towards our goals.

So far, this year, Mother Nature has dealt us some interesting weather challenges. 2014 started out with extreme cold and blizzards, and already, tornadoes are touching down and floods are forcing people to flee their homes. It’s bad enough when you have to evacuate or protect yo ...

It seems to be shaping up to a rather odd spring when it comes to outbreaks of diseases in horses. EHV is still a concern in some areas, while in other places, EIA has been a problem. Another disease that has hit the horse headlines is rabies. A horse in a Texas team roping compe ...

It’s hard to believe, but there are a few places on the planet where the horse (or close relation) still reigns supreme, and cars are banned. To me, that sounds like a little piece of heaven on earth, and the ideal destination for a vacation - or a permanent residence. The next t ...

Over the years, I've read and heard a lot of old sayings and lore about horses. One thing I've always paid attention to was the position of the whorls of hair on my horses. There is a lot of gypsy and folklore about these swirls of hair. Where they are positioned, how many there ...

There are three things common to almost every stable that no one really wants: flies, manure piles and drama. Of these three, the flies and manure can be the easiest to get rid of. However, barn drama seems to stick around, and it can be very hard to eradicate. Yes, there are dra ...

One of the most common problems many riders have is slowing down a horse that is a puller, or is very forward. The problem may be more noticeable after the horse has had a break, and has stored a little excess energy, like after this long winter we've had, when we haven't been ab ...

I don't like to complain, but there are a few things that make me jealous of my horse. I probably wouldn't want to be a horse, but if I were, these things would make me happy.
