We are working our way through the alphabet in the a-z of plants your horse can’t eat. Today’s plant name is sure to get a giggle or two. Hoary Alyssum sounds like a woman of ill repute in some wild west town during the gold rush – it must be bad news!

We’ve been offering all sorts of horse theme gift ideas for all types of discerning gift givers and today we are switching gears. Today we are looking to the past for a gift that isn’t often received in the 21st century.
When was the last time you wrote a letter or sent someone a card? It’s a great way to share your appreciation for the equine animal while spreading some snail-mail joy. Everyone loves to get mail, even the paper kind – especially when it holds a note from a friend or relative. We selected some amazing card and stationary sets to share here, some that may even convince you take up letter writing again. 😉

This is a position which may require previous engineering training and experience, knowledge of equines may be secondary to knowledge of the land and how to manage it. Often the engineers will contract to help maintain trails as well as creating them. This can be a freelance position or can be a salaried position depending on the place.

Later on in the evening a traveler’s horse was brought in by the second hostler, and while he was cleaning him a young man with a pipe in his mouth lounged into the stable to gossip.
“I say, Towler,” said the hostler, “just run up the ladder into the loft and put some hay down into this horse’s rack, will you? only lay down your pipe.”

Last time we featured some fun arty horse items for the home and this time we have some more stunning decor to share. Statues and sculptures have to be our favorite types of horse art and these don’t disappoint.
Whether they are lovingly sculpted out of clay, molded in metal or carved from wood, we love the strikingly physical equine form. There is something about three-dimensional art that has a way of capturing the essence of the animal, even when the form isn’t entirely equine in nature. These aren’t your average horse statues, each one was hand selected for their beauty of form and craftsmanship (and most of them are on our list this year).

This is another handy video from World Horse Welfare and this time the topic is horse weight. An essential element to horse welfare is keeping them at a healthy weight.
While many of us know that underweight horses are a bad thing, did you know that an overweight one is equally as susceptible to problems? Being overindulgent can be as bad as withholding food in many respects, an overweight animal is obviously prone to leg, joint and feet problems to start. It’s important for horse owners to know their animal, their breed type and be able to recognize signs of obesity in equines.

Tell us a little about you, what is your background & where do you come from?
I’m from San Diego, CA and spent most of my childhood there, although I lived briefly in Connecticut.
Even though I stayed in one city for most of my childhood my parents traveled a lot for work when I was young, so I had been to seven countries and seen most of the Unites States by the time I was 12. I am and always have been very close with my family, and those relationships influence me greatly.
Where can people find more information about you & your music online?
