A bunch more horse blogs

I have been looking for more blogs about horses and horse health and I should have thought of this but someone beat me to it – just ask!

I belong to a group on LinkedIn (http://www.linkedin.com/in/drdanbeatty) called This Business of Horses and wouldn’t you know it someone posted a question “Do you write a horse blog? Please let me know. Thanks!” Well 37 comments later and a whole bunch of blogs I have found a few blogs definitely worth following – here are a select few that I really liked -

Horse Life – Bitless, treeless and other riding advice and comments. I loved his recent post about Cold Weather care for the arthritic senior horse. Now I would say that any horse in cold weather should be treated the way he is suggesting in this post but especially our old timers. I would actually say they would need to be warmed uplonger in the weather that we have here in the winter. Overall, this is a good blog by Steve Wawryk, a Canadian horsemen who’s blog description states -

Horselife offers a wide range of products and services for the natural horsemanship enthusiast to the person who is interested in learning a no-nonsense approach to safe, balanced, real life riding.

Writing of Riding: My Equestrian Blog – A little artsy for my taste but a beautiful blog and well written. As Erica K. Frei the owner of this well crafted blog states “Here you can find my thoughts, theories and opinions on just about anything the comes to mind which could be remotely connected to horses.” and she is right there is a lot of information about a wide variety of topics on horses and horsemanship. Go check it out.

Stephanielynnperformance’s Blog – OK just for the Sheath Cleaning Song alone this blog gets my recommendation…too funny! I can not wait to see what else she has in store for us with this blog.

Barn Mice – I have to include this site because it is a collection of blogs related to horses and horsemanship – clever name as well, because like mice in a barn it is a community of people interested in horses. The main page has a bunch of good videos as well so check out the whole site as well as the list of blogs.

There are many more that I did not mention if you wish to see the whole list of blogs in the group just join the group on LinkedIn This Business of Horses or connect with me on LinkedIn via my profile – http://www.linkedin.com/in/drdanbeatty and we can get you into the group.

Horse Health: Looking for a few good blogs

OK the transfer of this site is almost complete – however I ran into one small problem. My blogroll is gone! A blogroll is a list of sites that are of similar content to the blog that they are listed on or are sites that the author of the blog likes. I had a few on the old blog but somehow they did not transfer over when I updated and transferred to this blog. So I have a request – are there any horse blogs out there that you think I should put on my blogroll?

Let me know what else you read, what is good out there, what deserves recognition as a great blog?

Thank you!

The Ten Best Blogs in Pet Health

Well I made “The Ten Best Blogs in Pet Health” given by Dr. Mannie Alvarez of Fox News.
Heres a link to the story http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,290164,00.html

Being in a list with the likes of the ASPCA and Pet Connection (Universal Press Syndicate) is both an honor and humbling at the same time. I do put a lot of effort into all of my blogs and just recently I made the decision to go back to my roots in veterinary medicine and really start putting out the information on this blog and Healthy As A Dog. Look for more posts and weekly podcasts. Also I will be putting out an ebook about How to Avoid the Horse Chiropractor. A book about five areas you need to concentrate on and learn more about to allow your horse to move better without having to have monthly or more visits from the Horse Chiropractor. Oh and the price your going to love – Free!

Thank you for reading. It is all of you I have to thank for getting me on that list, because it is you the readers I do this for! Thank you! And Dr. Alvarez, thank you for reading and then writing about my blog.
