Horse Breeds Beginning With V
It’s horse breed Thursday again and time to meet one of the last few letters of the breed alphabet. Make sure you visit the breeds section where I’ve written pages about every breed I can find.
If you haven’t met the rest of the alphabet, be sure to do so A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U. Today it’s about breeds that start with V, from the adaptable Venezuelan Criollo established from Spanish animals brought to the new world to the Vyatka from an area of Udmurtia known for horse breeding.

LaRaedo Barn Management Software
A guest post courtesy of Marie Taulbee over at LaRaedo Software who wanted to share a little about her handy barn management software.
Imagine, as a farm owner, offering your horse boarder a log on service that allows them to check on the daily care status of their horse, obtain details about their lessons or training, being able to receive and send alert messages and access their itemized monthly invoice?

Fun Horse iPhone Apps on iTunes
Recently I’ve been posting about handy mobile technology for equestrians – mainly through the relatively new world of downloadable apps for your phone. iTunes is leading the way with a huge selection of apps & games – including those of the horse type nature.
Horses At Your Fingertips
In fact I found so many horse & equestrian apps that I had to put them in smaller categories – which should make it easier for you to locate the applications that are the most useful to you. Today is a motley collection of random apps that are mainly for entertainment (ahem, time wasting) purposes. For each listing below I’ve provided a brief description and a link to them on the iTunes app store.

Since 1990 William Shatner has been a leading force behind the Hollywood Charity Show to share his love of horses and raise money for children’s charity. Every year artists donate time to this great cause and make an appearance.
This years performing guest will be Sheryl Crow – another celebrity horse lover.
Fun for the whole family, this is a day to enjoy horsemanship alongside a little Hollywood glamour and top it off with the charity feel-good factor.

How to Stop A Horse
Perhaps the most essential lesson to learn, stopping isn’t always an easy thing to do. Beyond that, stopping shouldn’t be a violent movement as it can do damage to the horse’s mouth.
Body Language
Contrary to what you might think, stopping can be done by body language alone. Small signals and changes of posture should be the primary speed regulator, not yanking on the reins.

Racing iPhone Apps & Games on iTunes
Lately it seems like everyone has an iPhone and as they seem to become more and more popular so is the iTunes App store. That said I’ve made it my mission to find and catalogue all of the horse apps I can find.
Horse Crazy iPhone
I started with just games & apps – but quickly realized those lists would get long and cumbersome. So I’ve further separated them and will keep posting as I organize them, today it’s horse games. For each listing below I’ve provided a brief description and a link to them on the iTunes app store.

Find The Equinest Around The Web
Keeping up with this website means I spend a lot of time online. It’s not just publishing every day, it’s replying to comments & communication, social network maintenance, correcting out-of-date info and (of course) the never ending drive for growth.
Here Goes…
All of that time online means I’ve got profiles all over the place and thought I’d put them all in one place so I could easily find them, & so could anyone else who was interested. Come on by, say hello and be sure to add me as a friend if you haven’t already. I look forward to seeing you around webtown. 😉

The Blue Eyed Horses of Gary Minshall
Awhile back I did a couple of posts about blue eyed horses & the response I got was overwhelming from people who loved their blue eyed animals. I haven’t forgotten any of those submissions and I will post them in the weeks to come.
Bring On Those Baby Blues!
Perhaps the most enthusiastic response I received was from Gary Minshall, a photographer I’ve interviewed in the past. His perspective is unique and he has some smashing images of blue-eyed animals that he allowed me to share with you.
