Basics 
Care
Colors Learn a little about zebras and how their stripes are more than just a lovely fur coat – they have many purposes beyond just camouflage. This is a really interesting clip and well worth waiting through the ad for. I’m pretty sure I like zebras even more now.

Funky Horse Cakes
There is nothing horse people like better than a well-made horsey cake. It seems in many cases, the more life-like the better.
Some of Them Freak Me Out
I’m not so sure I’m on board with all of these, but some of them are really cute and it is fun to get ideas for treating a fellow horse lover on their birthday.
Most of them are put together by professional cake makers, but I suspect some of them were made by adventurous novice bakers too. Hats off to the artists who did a bang up job of turning equines into yummy desserts.

Horse Pictures From Peru
Horses are very much a part of Peruvian life – both in urban and rural settings. The urban animals are often over worked, under fed and kept in appalling conditions.
Their rural cousins however, while they earn their keep, tend to live a healthier, more well-nourished lifestyle. If only because they have more forage available to them.
Mountain horses live in unforgiving conditions and grow to be incredibly hardy.

Proposed Wild Horse and Burrow Act HR 1018 Revisions
Image from NDomer73
Issues surrounding wild horses are becoming more and more mainstream thanks to people like Madeleine Pickens and Deanne Stillman who work hard to publicize the injustices these animals face.
What They Want To Do
Currently a legislation has been proposed to update the sorely outdated Wild Horse & Burrow Protection Act of 1971 HR 1018.
These amendments were introduced on Feb 2009 and propose updating aspects of the bill that deal with horse handling, preservation, round up, land management and adoption (they are paraphrased below).

Horse Jobs – Breeding Manager
A career in breeding management is not one for the faint of heart. Aside from the decidedly lewd nature of the job itself, this field is as physically demanding as it is economically challenging. This is a position people often find themselves in without planning for it.
Not An Easy Job
Horse breeding requires managing excited and emboldened stallions all the way to cranky gestating mares. And understanding the complicated nature of reproductive cycles and pregnancy needs. Anyone in this position has to have a genuine love of the animal.
This is a postion which benefits from strict attention to detail, strength of character and an innate sense of dedication to animal rights.
Good business sense, practical horse knowledge and endless patience are a requirement for becoming a successful breeding manager.

Picthall and Gunzi Horse Books
Attention horse photographers, last week I recieved an email from Katy over at Picthall & Gunzi which is a UK based children’s book publisher.
They produce educational books worldwide for children between the ages of 0-10 years old. Their books are designed to be educational, to encourage learning, and to be entertaining to children.
Looking for Photographers
They are currently looking into designing several horse and pony related books including a sticker activity book, a board book, and a fold out poster book.
Katy contacted me about using some of the images on theequinest, so I offered to publish her request and see if any of the photographers would be interested in submitting their work directly.
