A little more artistic talent this week as we look at an artist blogger who definitely has a thing for horses, Christine Thomas over at her blog .:EQUUS:.. (Be sure & grab her RSS feed while you are there).

Christine is a blogger (& horse owner) with a great deal of education within the horse industry. Her posts are thoughtful, insightful and well-written. The focus of much of her writing is horse jobs, travel & book reviews, but regardless of the topic the articles are well laid-out and thoroughly researched.

Forum games aren’t for everyone, but they offer an lower-graphic alternative for those with older computers and slower browsers.

For my first horse blogger of the week I had to mention my friend (and frequent guest poster) Eleanor Van Natta over at Sage By Nature. Be sure to visit her Sage Blog (& grab her RSS feed while you are there). Plus you can find all of her guest articles on her author’s page.

Eleanor writes about horse health with emphasis on a natural approach, and most of what she writes is based on (sometimes painful) personal experience.

Her work provides insight into common situations through her experiences, and facts based on her extensive research. All of this peppered with a dose of humor, poetic metaphors & loads of resources.

It’s Wednesday and time for another dose of online horse games. I started cataloguing these games some time ago when I wrote a post about them & with reader additions the list continues to grow.

So I’ve developed more organized lists separating them into different types. As always different games will appeal to different people & these lists help you target your interests. Be sure to check out jumping games, dress up games & racing games too!

This list encompasses a number of flash games that don’t really fall into any other category. From Horse Bowling to Pony Memory to Dungfoo Donkey, there is hours of entertainment here.

Running a big website means I always need more images and there are a number of places I go to find them. Although it’s important to keep trade secrets close to your heart, I decided to share my sources for royalty free horse images with my readers.

For all of you writers and bloggers out there, images help to make an article more digestible and help to emphasize important (or funny) points.

Here is a solid list of places to find stock photography of the equine kind.

Remember that this photography is not in the public domain, images from the following sites must be purchased for use (unless otherwise noted).

While they render my list of horses on twitter pretty much obsolete, the newly introduced Twitter lists are a great way to keep track of your friends. I’ve been working hard to get mine put together and to help organize horses on the twittersphere.

Here are the lists I’ve developed in one place so they are easy to navigate & find. For each category there is a short description so you will know what to expect.

I’m sure there will be some crossover and some Twitterers will fit into several categories, however I’m trying to limit everyone to just one list for now.
