The Equinest – The Equinest

We’ve Updated Our Jobs Section

The Equinest — Fri, 14 Sep 2012 13:07:42 +0000

The handy job description section on The Equinest was the result of a reader request and we can’t thank that reader enough. Not only has it been an education for us, but it has helped to put the horse industry into perspective. In short, horse jobs are everywhere. Truly for any horse lover, the idea of making a living working with the animal we adore is a dream come true. As it turns out…

Check Out the Updated Color Images

The Equinest — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 13:14:00 +0000

It seems that it was time to update the color section and get with the times when it comes to horse color genetics. The section was out of date and in need of a facelift – so I gave it one. In the weeks to come I’ll be updating and sharing the color pages along with information about where they come from and which breeds are associated with them. I’ve tried to keep things as simple as…

Horse Video Sunday is Moving – To Thursday

The Equinest — Sun, 26 Jun 2011 12:59:52 +0000

I love finding new horse videos to share and the weekly videos on Sunday has been perhaps the longest running series on the site ever. It’s time for a change and I’m switching to a Monday through Friday posting week. Horse people are busy on the weekends anyway. Starting this week Video Sunday will officially be moved to Video Thursday…it’ll still be there if you want to watch it on Sunday.

Horse Poetry Tuesdays

Recently I was researching something or other online and ran across The Man From Snowy River by A.B. Paterson. I was embarrassed that the name only rang a bell in the context of a movie, so I had to read it and see if the movie added up. The poem is excellent and actually exciting, or as exciting as a poem can be. As for the movie, its bold imagery absolutely does the verses justice and the…

Toxic Plant of The Week

The Equinest — Mon, 21 Feb 2011 14:08:56 +0000

When it comes to food, horses have to be quite picky. You’d be amazed at how many plants these handsome herbivores can’t eat. One of the first sections I created on The Equinest was the toxic plant section & it had a complete facelift not too long ago. Last week I posted a link to one of the toxic plants on my social profiles and it got quite a few re-tweets. So I got to thinking that it…

The Equinest Shop on Cafepress

The Equinest — Sat, 29 Jan 2011 14:46:42 +0000

The Equinest has been around for several years now & I decided it was high time I made some branded merchandise available (I already want one of everything). Merchandise generally requires an initial investment and a place to keep stock so I opted for a Cafepress store. This is a blog I started because I already worked online and I love horses…combining the two just seemed like a no-brainer.
