Today’s blogger of the week is Jackie Baker, you can find more of her stuff on her blog Regarding Horses (& don’t forget to grab her RSS feed while you are there).
Not just maintaining her own blog, Jackie also writes a blog about her horse Ace & the trials & tribulations of her first venture into horse ownership. On her own blog Jackie’s articles are well-laid out and easy to read, plus she provides close coverage of the upcoming 2010 World Equestrian Games and their regular WEG Radio Show.
While Jackie’s personal focus is on the sport disciplines, her advice & information are solid and can be applied to a number of equestrian lifestyles.
Great Reading
Some of these links are pages, some are posts she has written on her blog. All of them provide us with more information about her and the sporting horse world as she sees it.

Wow! Thank you SO much for the recommendation for Regarding Horses. I’m both surprised and very honored.
And while I’m here, I’d like to put in a plug for a horsey blog I recently discovered called Retired Racehorse. Fantastic blog about retraining OTTB’s. http://retiredracehorseblog.wordpress.com/
YW Jackie, I’ve been reading you for a long time now. 🙂 Thanks for the recommendation I’m always looking for new horse writers to check out.
P.S. I’m also @2010WEG on Twitter, where I keep most of the horsey talk as well as obviously World Equestrian Games coverage.
Good heavens, Jackie! Congrats on the mention and thanks very much for mentioning Retired Racehorse! It is a pleasure to write and I’m thrilled that other people enjoy it.
I’d always wanted to put together a web site much like Regarding Horses that is more aggregated news and things, but I’m just not able to keep up with the world outside of my own string of Thoroughbreds! So we all appreciate you doing that legwork for us!
Thanks again,
Natalie Keller Reinert
(and hey, Facebook me!)
