by

Horse Quotes

I’m sure we’ll all agree that the majority of people like a good quote.  Sometimes it may come at just the right time when you’re in need of encouragement or when you need a bit of inspiration to help get you through hard times.

You may notice I use quotes often throughout my writing.

When I see or hear a quote I think worthy of saving, I add it to my never ending list.  Where I get my quotes will vary.  They may come from a book or article I’ve read or from a seminar I’ve attended.  I always strive to extract out the essence of an author’s message or an educator’s main point.  Quotes help me to do this in more ways than one.

A Heartfelt Review of Buck the Film

What are the qualities of a horseman?

As someone who is seeking what’s best for your horse, you’d probably agree that there are a lot of trainers in the world, but few horsemen.

To Blanket Your Horse or Not to Blanket … That Is the Question

Horse Blanketing

A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong, gives it a superficial appearance of being right.”  ~ Thomas Paine (Introduction to Common Sense 1776)

Have you ever thought about why people blanket their horses in the winter?  If you question and explore this practice, you may be surprised by what you’ll learn.

Blanketing horses in the winter is a common horse keeping practice when it starts to get a little chilly outside.

Yes, you heard me right, a little chilly.

During the first onset of colder weather I notice many horses with their flashy blankets on.  Since I live in the middle of one of the larger horse areas in the country, I don’t have to drive far before I spot one or two horses like this.
