Equine Online Category

Over the years in writing this site I’ve accumulated quite a collection of horse RSS feeds. From horse artists to equine publications to horse rescues I follow a little bit of everything. Most of them discovered through social media communities or reader recommendations.

The Art List

The other day I started doing some organizing of my feed reader and decided I should post this huge list of blogs for my readers. Fortunately they were already organized so I could post them by category (in case you haven’t noticed, I’m big on categories) to make them easier to digest. Listed below in alphabetical order.

Keeping up with this website means I spend a lot of time online. It’s not just publishing every day, it’s replying to comments & communication, social network maintenance, correcting out-of-date info and (of course) the never ending drive for growth.

Here Goes…

All of that time online means I’ve got profiles all over the place and thought I’d put them all in one place so I could easily find them, & so could anyone else who was interested. Come on by, say hello and be sure to add me as a friend if you haven’t already. I look forward to seeing you around webtown. 😉

Today the blogger of the week is hilarious Mara, book (& movie) review extraordinaire. You can find more of her stuff on her blog Whitebrook Farm (& don’t forget to grab her RSS feed while you are there).

If it’s in print, on cable or on the big screen and it has anything to do with horses, chances are Mara has watched/read it and written a lengthly review about it. Her articles are well thought out and should I find a title I want to read I’ll definitely look up her review before I open the cover.

Today’s blogger of the week is Jessica McCune a talented model horse artist. You can find more of her stuff on her blog Tacky Tack of the Day (& don’t forget to grab her RSS feed while you are there).

This blog is one of those ‘guilty reads’ she posts some atrocious images, has opinionated views & I love it that she shares them. Beyond just ugly to look at, much of the equipment she posts is of poor quality or downright abusive. Snide name aside, the articles on her blog are surprisingly thoughtful in their critiques (& her scary pink saddles of the week segment is priceless).

Something very different today, the horse blogger of the week is Julie Size who is also the regional editor for Saddle and Bridle magazine. You can find more of her stuff on her blog Riding Aside (& don’t forget to grab her RSS feed while you are there).

There are very few blogs out there about riding aside so in a way Julie’s sets the standard. Her enthusiasm for (and complete immersion in) the discipline makes her posts colorful & they provide a glimpse into a horse industry virtually unknown to many of us. This is one dedicated blogger, Julie also maintains several blogs beyond her sidesaddle adventures.
