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!
There’s been a recent fad or trend that many horse owners have tried called “hand grooming.” No, this doesn’t mean using your hand as opposed to a machine. It means literally using your hand to groom your horse, instead of a brush. We don’t know exactly when hand grooming started becoming popular, and quite frankly,…

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…
You can’t “sell ice to an Eskimo,” but apparently you can sell sand to a country in the middle of the desert, IF they have a horse racing track! According to a report published this past Friday in The Daily Mail, Dubai ordered 1,500 cubic meters of sand from a company in Germany for their…
The object of their affection. These boys were smitten with this beautiful mare as she was paraded in front of them, on this picture perfect day.

The EU Commission has announced that the European horse riding helmet standard BS EN 1384 is going to be withdrawn from the Official Journal of the European Union (OJ) at its next publication.

In our last post titled “Should I Clip My Horse’s Hair In The Winter?” we mentioned the “standard” styles used when clipping out a horse’s hair including the “bib” clip and the “hunter” clip. When we got this picture, we felt compelled to share it with all the FillyFans out there. Not just because it’s…
Thanks to a Filly Fan responding to our post yesterday, we have more evidence that cowboy boots have become “urban chic” this year. Over the last couple of years, women across America were styling in their “riding” boots (even though 90% of them had probably never ridden a horse in their lives). It was actually…
We’re back again! Why? Because while trying to find out more information about the mysterious and elusive cowboy family who rode horses through New York City’s Central Park (see our post titled: A “cowboy family” on horseback spotted in New York City’s Central Park!) we came across a set of pictures perhaps even more unique. No…
Is your horse looking a little scruffy these days? Is his normal 5 o’clock shadow starting to resemble ZZ Top (young folk, feel free to click the link if you don’t get the ZZ Top reference)? Well before you get out those trimmers, you should know that the whiskers on a horse’s muzzle have a name,…
