In 2007 the Clairemont riding Academy, on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, shut its doors and horseback riding in Central Park came to a halt. Over the next several years (up until 2011), Riverdale Equestrian Center intermittently brought their horses down from the Bronx and offered rides by appointment. Currently, Central Park Horseback Rides…
A rancher was getting his monthly visit from his veterinarian, so he decided to ask him for some free advice. “I have a horse that walks normally sometimes, but at other times, he limps. What shall I do?”
The EU Commission has announced that the European horse riding helmet standard BS EN 1384 is going to be withdrawn from the Official Journal of the European Union (OJ) at its next publication. This means that riding helmet manufacturers will no longer be able to CE-mark their helmets using this standard and will need to…
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…
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!

Quite simply, horses need salt blocks because they have natural appetites for salt, yet sodium and chloride (the elements that make up table salt) are not abundantly found in their natural feed. Grains, hay, grass, and even commercial feeds are often lacking in these desired electrolytes. The aforementioned feeds contain other essential electrolytes that horses…
Is your horse’s hay going missing? Do you suspect it’s one of your stablemates or fellow boarders stealing your horse’s hay or feed? For those who aren’t privileged enough to have their own private stables, or those who just like the convenience and social aspect of a yard, hay theft is a common problem. We’d…
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…
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,…

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….
When compared to motorcycle riding, horse riding activity has a higher hospital admission rate of 0.49/1000 hours versus 0.14/1000 hours. These were the results found in a research paper published in The American Journal of Surgery back in 2007. Not only is horse riding statistically more dangerous than riding a motor cycle, but it’s also a more…
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…
