So I’m looking at the latest horse news and I come across the title “What It’s Like to Date a Horse” from New York Magazine (actually posted on NYMAG.com. I figure this is going to be one of those typical stories about a girl who’s obsessed with her horse, spends all her free time riding…
Watch this video of a gorgeous gypsy pony playing in an open field with her friends. Look at this pony’s beautiful blonde hair and coat. If she were human, she’d be Daryl Hannah in her prime!
Apparently Bob Baffert has a better eye for horses’ asses than we do (please see yesterday’s post for clarification)! Congratulations to Bayern (the winning horse) and Bob for winning the $5 million Breeder’s Cup Classic. For the record, this is Baffert’s first win after failing in 12 previous tries. It was a wild race, with…
Do you make quick stops and turns with powerful acceleration? Do you do barrel racing, cow horse, or roping? Do you do trail riding with steep inclines? Keep reading…
There’s nothing comical about bestiality, but these “zoophiles” always turn out to be quite the characters. Our last foray into zoophiles was covered in a post titled “What It’s Like To Date A Horse- New York Magazine Has Gone Too Far.” It’s an interesting read to say the least. The zoophile profiled in the article…
There’s a common myth that only unhealthy horses, or horses who aren’t regularly attended to, are susceptible to lice infestation (otherwise known as pediculosis). If you haven’t found out the hard way that this simply isn’t true, there’s also a research study that proves that healthy horses can become infested with lice. Why are we bringing…
Dressage superstars Charlotte Dujardin and the mighty Valegro will return to Olympia, The London International Horse Show this year. The Show takes place from December 16th – 22nd. It hosts three FEI World Cup competitions in showjumping, dressage and driving. Probably one of my favorites- the Shetland Pony Grand National, will also take place, as will the Kennel…
Cloning your horse is no problem. But, don’t expect to register it with The American Quarter Horse Association any time soon. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans ruled today that The American Quarter Horse Association may refuse to register cloned horses. The ruling overturns a lower-court decision from 2013 that had…
Before we delve into the details of this story, let me urge you to keep in mind that most thieves have little, if any, morals. So as you read how they even “stole the rugs off his horses’ backs” and you start saying to yourself “who could possibly….?” just remember who/what we’re dealing with. James…
On November 18th, the Animal Health Trust (a charity, fighting disease and injury in animals), issued an Equine Flu Alert because of the rise in outbreaks across the U.K. and Scotland. With the onset of winter comes the flu season. When you get your annual vaccine this year, don’t forget about your horse(s). Vets in the U.K….
No, we don’t think horses will be sporting fancy eye glasses (like the horse featured in this post) as a result of a study that’s gotten recent attention. Nor do we believe that the study, which found that two-thirds of horses have normal vision while the remainder of horses are either nearsighted or farsighted, will…
There’s one question we keep seeing pop up over and over again… “should I clip my horse’s hair in the winter?” Now if you ask that question to three different equestrians, you will probably get three different answers, and rightfully so. Why? Because it really does depend on your particular situation. The factors to consider…
This is one of those cases where we won’t know who’s in the “right/wrong” until we hear all the details, but here’s a quick summary of what we do know: Zoey Deschanel is being sued by a horse owner named Patty Parker. Parker is suing actress Zooey Deschanel (who stars in the Fox sitcom New…
So, how do you get a winless filly listed as a 110-1 long-shot to win her horse race? Simple…have a different horse run under her name. That’s apparently what happen in Ohio at Hollywood Gaming’s Mahoning Valley Race Course near Youngstown. In what is being ruled as a legitimate mix-up, a stable worker brought the…
