Not too long ago I posted another behind the scenes video at an equine photoshoot and was rather displeased with the people involved. This is another story altogether.
I’m far happier with the fashion world after watching this video, Jenny Lee Bridal, photographer David Nguyen and model Bianca Gomez have a much better understanding of horse beauty. The horse they used is magnificent and clearly well cared for…now that’s fashion!

We’ve already taken a look at cute little pony apps, horse games and useful apps for the iPad and this time it’s all about the fun stuff. These apps will help you waste some time.
Sadly, this isn’t a very big list and hopefully it will grow over time. However there are enough apps here to help you spend a few brainless hours enjoying your favorite animal. For each one I’ve provided a (very) brief description and a link to them on the iTunes store.

Over the past few weeks I’ve been sharing some of the equine blogs I follow and today is one of my favorites. The general horse blogs…written by horse people for horse people.
The term general hardly does them justice, many of these blogs are highly specialized within the equine niche. Some provide advice, some provide essential info and still others will just put a smile on a horse lovers face. In the end I’ve been following a large percentage of these blogs for quite some time.

John Ferneley was an English painter during the early 19th century who specialized in scenes with hunters and sporting horses. His work shows hunting during a time when it was en vogue and he soon became sought after as an equestrian artist.
Ferneley became well known for creating panoramic paintings that show a sequence of events and was known to collaborate with Sir Frances Grant who traded him help painting characters for help painting horses.

Now that we’ve covered some of the horse games and even a few stout little pony apps for the iPad, today it’s time to take a look at some that are more useful.
Interestingly enough, there are more useful apps for the iPad than there are games. Due to the fact that it’s a larger and heavier device the iPad is not quite as portable and not as easily used on location. However, from home it’s a great too. Here are some more ways to make it useful in your horse life. For each app I’ve provided a (very) brief description and a link to them on the iTunes store.

Happy Monday and today I’m delighted to be sharing one of the more beautiful plants that are toxic to horses. Today we take a look at the Autumn Crocus which isn’t as big a problem in North America as it is in the UK, parts of Europe and the Middle East.

The Lusitano Horse is Portugal’s pride and a close cousin to Spain’s mighty Andalusian. This video shows clips of Golegã a traditional Portuguese Lusitano Fair.
It is no secret the Lusitano is a noble & beautiful animal (don’t tell anyone, but I couldn’t tell an Andalusian from a Lusitano if you paid me). All of that aside, the animals are beautiful and so is the setting – not to mention how interesting it is to see an old horse culture in action.

Although I didn’t find as many horse theme apps for the iPad as I have for the iPhone I have a healthy list of them too. Last time we took a look at the cute little pony apps and this week it’s on to the big boys.
Games are one of the more entertaining uses for the handy iPad. In fact, it’s quite easy to loose an hour or two as you become one with your electronic device. So to help in that computer game fad I’ve decided to start with Horse theme iPad games. For each one I’ve provided a (very) brief description and a link to them on the iTunes store.

Out of all the horse blogs out there, associations & societies tend to be some of the more important ones. The provide an essential service and important news.
There are an unlimited number of different horse associations & societies out there. Sadly they tend to be a little slower when it comes to technology and few of them have blogs. I’m sure there are more, but most of these blogs I already follow and I was able to find a few more. I did stay away from breed associations, that’s a post for another day.

Paulus Potter was a Dutch painter during the mid 17th century, he lived a short but artistic life and died of tuberculosis before reaching his 30th birthday. Much of his short life was spend observing and painting barnyard animals, particularly cows and horses.
Potter may well have been the first pet portrait artist, as his subjects were the animals themselves. He was said to have wandered the Dutch countryside with his sketchbook in hand – fascinated with the harmony between the animals, their surroundings and the light that played upon them.
