Today’s horse blogger of the week is none other than Fran Jurga the hoof care & health guru. You can find more of her stuff on Fran Jurga’s Hoof Care Blog & The Jurga Report (don’t forget to grab her RSS feeds while you are there).
A busy lady, Fran keeps up two blogs and has time for social media. Her hoof blog provides advice, news & information about hoof health while The Jurga Report keeps readers updated with the latest news in health care, equine science & research in the horse world.
Her writing style is easy to digest and her information is solid, I always learn something new when I read Fran.
Great Reading
Because I follow both blogs I chose 5 selections from each. She posts a lot so it was hard to pick only 10, but that means you guys have a lot of reading to do!

Fran is great–so informative and fun to read. Thanks for featuring her.
Once again, thanks for pointing out some great posts and information Paige!
What’s this! Thank you so much, Paige, I am honored–and inspired–to be your blogger of the week! The funny thing is, I’m about to launch a third blog, so your timing is uncanny.
As always, I appreciate all that you do to be out there on the edge of the horse world. I admire the way you zoom around and find things in the nooks and crannies of the horse world that are so interesting and entertaining! I’m sure you have helped a lot of otherwise-unknown people “get found” and entertained your followers (especially me) endlessly, at the same time!
YW Fran and thanks for dropping by. Good info is hard to find online, so I try to make sure everyone sees it when I do. 😉
Definitely keep us posted about your new blog!
