My Little Ponies and Puppies - Readers Blogs

Since none of us have anything to do with our lives except read (ahem) I decided it's time to make it even easier to waste a day dinking around on the computer.

Any Horsaii with a blog is welcome to read or add their blog to this page.

Send me your bog address at jhuntington@cowhorseart.com (yes, that's finally the right address!) with a brief description of your blog and I'll add you to the list.

Now, before you start cruising the list you must take:

The Mugwump Oath of the Horsaii

I solemnly swear
to happily neglect my house, spouse, job and/or children
but NEVER
my horse, barn, dogs or friends
in order to read these blogs
So help me Misty of Chincoteague

*New Blog!

Nocturne and Neversummer
http://neversummer.nitebreeze.com/

I like to write about my three Morgan cow-ponies and all the other horses I know or have known. Also about farm life, gardening and the thorough surprise of motherhood. My husband occasional writes too when he's not to busy fixing computers and farming.

Mostly about day to day life with my horse Lucas, and dealing with my rheumatoid arthritis while trying to ride and show.

A Riding Habit

http://aridinghabit.com.

I ride English, I have green four and half
year old TBxAppaloosa {no spots} and we are currently on a somewhat crazy journey to understand each
other ~ with a whole parcel of fun in between!

Raising Freddy Kreuger

http://fredredblog.wordpress.com/

I write about my seven year old paint, Freddy, the dozens of other horses I'm working with, and the horses I grew up with. From cutters to jumpers and trail horses, we do a lot. I try to update twice a week.

It’s a Good Thing You’re Cute
http://promisebaby.blogspot.com/

I write about my 17 year old Hanoverian cross mare and my dogs -- and usually the trouble they cause that makes me say "It's a good thing you're cute."

I used to compete in hunter/jumper, but since we've been battling lameness for 2+ years now, I just enjoy hopping on whenever she is sound enough, even if it's just to walk for a few minutes.

Peak Amygdala

http://joycereynoldsward.com/

 talk about writing, horses and skiing. Oh, and a little bit about politics. Have a nice little reining-bred mare and we putz around an arena. And other stuff.

Zambito Oaks

http://zambitooaks.blogspot.com/

I'm a trail rider that loves to horse camp with my horse buddies.
I started my blog ZAMBITO OAKS in 2005 to chronicle the birth of my mare's colt and have continued regularly until 6 months ago when I took a hiatus.

The Chevelle Chronicles
http://chevellechronicles.blogspot.com/

I write about my life with my now 6 year old horse, Chevelle, training techniques, and horses in my past. I ride western pleasure and my background is in hunters and equitation. I rode Arabians for many years. I now live in Wyoming and I love the wide open spaces. I update the blog at least twice a week.

Memoirs of a Horse Girl

http://memoirsofahorsegirlblog.blogspot.com/

I write about life with Harley, my buckskin quarter horse, and my love of dressage. I also like to reminisce...

Adventures In Horsedom
http://adventuresinhorse-dom.blogspot.com/

Originally mostly about all of my riding lessons and the rescue I was volunteering at, since I've bought my horse and moved to a new state it's mostly been about the things me and my guy (8 yo drafty gelding) get up to. It's a nice log of our progress, that's for sure. And I ride English (in the arena and out on the trail).

Haiku Farm

http://haikufarm.blogspot.com/

Aarene and family, including 2 horses, 2 goats, 11 chickens, 3 dogs and a cat (plus a few humans) on a leetle bitty farm in the far Northwestern Swamplands of the United States. Endurance, dressage, and a fair amount of mucking about with horses.

And poetry. And pirates. And whatever else crosses my line of vision....

Gotland Endurance

www.gotlandendurance.blogspot.com

I got started in endurance just a few years ago with one of my friend's Gotland pony mares, Russ Haven's Red Willow (Willard the Wacky Mare). We completed a few LD rides before I retired her. Then I borrowed a horse bred for endurance and CTR. Totally hooked now and went shopping for my next horse, one that I will be able to do more serious distance riding with! Now I own two 3 year olds, one an Akhal Teke x Arab that will be my endurance horse. I hope to do "real endurance" (i.e. 50+ mile rides) with him when he gets older.

Pragmatic Horsemanship
http://pragmatichorsemanship.co.uk/horsemanship

Ben Moxon a horse trainer based in Hindhead, not far from Farnham and Guildford on the Surrey/Hampshire/West Sussex border. (He doesn’t always agree with me, but he thinks I’m a fun read. Back attcha Ben!-Mugs)

The Red Horse Tales
http://theredhorsetales.blogspot.com/

Just getting started, but I'm having fun!

Horse Genes 
http://horsegenes.blogspot.com/

This is my spot where I ramble on about my horses, life, weight loss, kids, dogs, friends, food, and whatever else strikes me!  

Hick Chic
http://hickchic.blogspot.com/

Hick because when I lived in town for 13 years, that's how my neighbors saw me and I wore it with pride. Chic because it's the French word for style and I like to rock the overalls and rubber boots.

One husband two teenagers a pug assorted cats and three horses.

I teach western riding lessons and am slowly building up a list of students. I also write fiction which means I get rejection letters because that's how it works. When I'm not blogging about horses, I blog about The Famous - I have a very healthy well adjusted fascination for certain rock stars and actors. Not creepy at all. I don't blog as often as I used to, but I take time for the Mugwump Chronicles!

Mountain Music

 http://mountaintrailmusic.blogspot.com

Been riding most of my life, and settled here in central Washington to build my dream farm to retire to. I was breeding and raising one or two Paint babies a year for a while, but can't justify it these days. Thinking about changing the focus to retirement boarders.

Currently bringing along two of my homebred girls, both now 7, and aiming at mountain trail type competitions.

Horsez-R-Us
http://www.horsez-r-us.blogspot.com/


 At 20 years old I have been riding for 3 years. I blog about my experiences with horses (no matter how ordinary) and sometimes I post about my crazy life as a college student. If you are hoping to read about amazing adventures on the back of a magnificent animal, my blog will bore you. But, if you want to read about an ordinary girl, riding ordinary horses, in her ordinary life, then I think you will enjoy my blog very much!

Rocking Seven Mile Ranch
 Rocking Seven Mile Blog. 

I've been riding and training horses a good part of my life. Now we use horses mostly for moving cattle and pleasure riding. Right now I am now making my way as a writer. I blog about my life on a ranch in Montana, among other things.


My Horse Life
http://myhorsesmylife.blogspot.com/

What its about... I ride for fun. I'm an amateur barrel racer, I team sort,
trail ride. The blog is about my day to day horse life, stuff from my life
that's not horse related but might pop up are my dogs and learning to live
out in the country (we moved to 74 acres from the city on May 31st 2010).
Also anything in the horse world that might catch my eye (i.e. Stacy
Westfall's Roxy mare dieing, the video of the horse dressed as a lion at a
show, etc)

Happy Trails Riding Adventures
www.happytrailstlh.com

I blog about horses in general, but trail riding is my thing. We ride mostly in southwest Virginia and northeast Tennessee.

 The Red Horse Tales 
  theredhorsetales.blogspot.com. 

I write about a little of everything, but many posts have an educational tone as I started the blog as a resource for my lesson program. I ride all-around, but prefer western- my favorites are reining and cattle events. 

Horse Trail Riders.com
 http://www.horsetrailriders.com/.

 I started riding after 40 and still going strong a decade later. I am primarily a trail rider and the keeper of the herd. My blog is about my horse life and where I ride, who I ride with and pictures to accompany the stories. I launched it in 2004 as a webpage - long before blogging had a name - and still going strong. Located in Nebraska.

 Wet Reins
  http://www.albigears.blogspot.com/

I have a younger TB gelding I got off the track almost 3 years ago. He is my first TB, we do all kinds of things but are focusing on competing in 3-Day-Eventing.


The Blog of Becky: How Not to Live Your Life
http://www.blogofbecky.com/

I seem to get myself in more embarrassing situations than any other person I know. I've got two boys, a husband, a dog that pees on the carpet, and I like horses and reading the way heroin addicts like their heroin.


 Omnia Paratus
liz-stout.blogspot.com

I'm a 20-something who just entered the "real world". I'm trying to make my horse dreams come true while pursuing a career in conservation biology. I've ridden since I was 5, but hadn't owned my first horse until this past year. I've dabbled in everything, riding anything and everything I can, but my heart lies with endurance riding - which I hope to pursue heavily in upcoming years. I currently have a rising 2 year old Arab x TWH that I rescued January 2012 and am finally getting to learn the process of starting a horse from the ground. As the Latin-English translation of my blog suggests, I am "ready for anything"!


Musings From Log Dog Acres
http://logdogacres.blogspot.com/

I have a couple horses and a sassy donkey and am making a former padded walking horse become an eventer. We live on our own little horse farm and try to take things day by day at logdogacres.blogspot.com

If Wishes Were Horses

 http://jessieandremington.blogspot.com/

I am working on training my 2nd mustang for the EMM competitions.  I know how you feel about mustangs (no you don’t, Mugs) , but I think they are way easier to train than a spoiled domestic horse ;-)

 I guess the category would be training?  I take dressage lessons... and I am a wannabe reiner... Most of all, I just enjoy my horses.

A Thousand Pounds of Fragile Horse athousandpoundsoffragilehorse.blogspot.com

 I started riding in my late 40’s and have been riding for 10 years. Four years ago I got my first horse, a 20-something Appaloosa named Buckshot, when he retired from bring a school horse, which happened after he retired from being a track pony (horse that leads racehorses on racecourse). We board at a great barn in central Virginia. I started my blog 1 and ½ years ago to record the wonderful and challenging adventures with this most wonderful horse!!

Collegial Equestrian

http://collegialequestrian.blogspot.com/

In my quest to continue riding throughout college, I necessarily had to find ways to ride on the cheap. This blog is a stockpile of my ideas and experiences on that topic, with an open invitation for others to join the conversation. And of course I take the pledge.

Over Anxious Owner

www.overanxioushorseowner.blogspot.com

I started the blog when I bought my first horse the year after I started my career as a college professor.  I find horse ownership harder and scarier (hence the Overanxious part) and more wonderful than I ever dreamed it would be when I was catch-riding and showing leased horses in 4-H.    We do just about everything from showing at local open shows: Showmanship, English, Western to taking dressage lessons and trail riding.  It looks like we'll be working our first cows this spring!  I also blog about making western show clothing, I do a number of product reviews and I do a "WTFriday" series. 

 A Horse Named Milo

www.ahorsenamedmilo.blogspot.com 

 It pretty much is a journal documenting the journey of horsemanship between my horse, Milo and I. We ride reined cow horse (aspiring) but our journey is more in horsemanship practice then just competition. Milo is an incredibly sweet and charming character who exemplifies the equine best friend. 

Mindful Connections

 www.mindful-connections.com 

Here is what I blog about ... how being mindful with our horses can preserve - or even recover - their spirit.

Chianti Trails 

www.chiantitrails.blogspot.com 

I am a kiwi rider and writer based in Tuscany Italy with my Sardinian husband, daughter and two lively horses. My blog is a personal view on the world of horses, with an emphasis on long distance riding and Italian horse breeds and local traditions

The Horse In The Mirror

http://goodhandshorses.blogspot.com/

I am retired from training for the public, did mostly western stock type, get down the road on them safely types. Typical self trained backyard trainer, made just about every mistake I could think of and some others I hadn't thought of but made them anyway. I called myself an NH trainer, and for me, that meant common sense, reading the horse and doing what is as good for the horse as I can possibly muster at that moment.

Now I have two personal horses, an Arab/Saddlebred cross (read My Pretty Pony) who is a nutball and the love of my life and a grade grulla QH type filly that I hope is the last horse I start under saddle . . .  I have taken dressage and jump lessons, ride clinics when I can, don't own anybodies cap, but I kinda like them and I might buy one, one of these days. I like a stick n string, but I no longer believe the tool is the key to the method . . .
