Learn about horses
Awhile back I posted about all of the online horse games I could find. Since then I’ve had lots of reader suggestions and recently I received an email about a new game called Bills Ranch.
It’s a free multi-player adventure game set in the wild wild west that can be played from any browser. I tried out the preview and found it very entertaining, horse (or cowboy) lovers of all ages will enjoy it.

The story of Alexander the Great and Bucephalus is one that every horse lover should know. In fact, The Black Stallion is loosely based on this story of boy taming beast.
Philonicus the Thessalian brought Bucephalus to Philip II (Alexander’s father) in the hopes of selling him. But when they went to the field to try him, he reared and bucked and would not have a rider.
Philip wasn’t happy with Philonicus for bringing him such a mount and declared that the horse was unsuitable and useless.

Castile soap originated in the Castile region of Spain and was made from local olive oil. The term has evolved to encompass soap made from vegetable-based oils.
Products made from Castile soap do not use animal products (ew, tallow) as a softening agent. This means they biodegrade faster and require less from Mother Earth to be made.

Although I’ve managed to track down a number of great green horse products and feed, I wanted to provide resources for products we use and consume when we aren’t on our horses too.
As animal lovers and owners we have a responsibility to animals everywhere to use products that have the least amount of impact on the environment and the critters that depend on it.
I’m not saying it’s an easy commitment but it is one that everyone needs to make before it’s too late. I’m here to help and I’ve tracked down a number of great companies who make everything from cleaning products, to socks to makeup.
*Some of the websites carry more products than just the categories I’ve put them in – why not browse a little?
