I’ve been hard at work on my latest project which I’m hoping will be helpful to horse people everywhere, Horses on Google Earth.

But research shows me that there are some equestrian vegans & vegetarians out there who want to find non-leather tack options. My question is this, I understand why you don’t want to use […]
It’s amazing how many products wind up in a horse owners stockpile, everything from wormers to fly sprays to shampoo. Safety First When choosing products, consider the health of everyone involved and when you can buy organic, natural and sustainable. In today’s chemical landscape no price is too dear to pay, lucky for us there […]
