It’s that time of year again & we’ve been providing the absolute best horse gift ideas, from shoes to jewelry. Speaking of jewelry, we’ve got some more equine themed sparkles for you today.

Read Black Beauty Online – Chapter 20. Joe Green
Chapter 20. Joe Green
Joe Green went on very well; he learned quickly, and was so attentive and careful that John began to trust him in many things; but as I have said, he was small of his age, and it was seldom that he was allowed to exercise either Ginger or me; but it so happened one morning that John was out with Justice in the luggage cart, and the master wanted a note to be taken immediately to a gentleman’s house, about three miles distant, and sent his orders for Joe to saddle me and take it, adding the caution that he was to ride steadily.

The Horse Show with Rick Lamb – Aromatherapy for Horses
Recently we discovered The Horse Show with Rick Lamb & were delighted to discover a huge selection of great horse topics to share with readers. We won’t post every episode, but will share the ones we found the most interesting & unique.
Aromatherapy for Horses
We believe there is something to this aromatherapy stuff, good, natural smells just make us feel good (think freshly cut grass, hay drying in the sun). In this episode Rick speaks with trainer Mary Midkiff about using special smells to interact with horses. If it works for us, it makes sense that it works for them as well. Especially when you consider their sense of smell is far more developed than our own.

Show Photographer – Horse Jobs
While many of us fancy ourselves amateur show photographers, sport photography is not an easy art to master. This is a horse job that allows not only an opportunity to work up close and personal with horses, but to pursue an art form as well.
What You Need
