I have just discovered a gold mine of Horse Blogs
If you read my post “Five good reasons why you should start a blog” I gave you a few reasons for starting a blog for your horse business. You may have thought, “Hey that sounds like a good idea, but where to start, what to write about, and how do I pick out my blog categories”?
Well I think that the first step should be to check out and read some postings at a few horse blogs that relate to whatever you are passionate about with horses.
I did a some quick Internet surfing and found this wonderfully large and varied Horse Blogs List at the Bridlepath blog. Doris gave me permission to repost her huge list here. And I have added to it too. She also would love if you’d check out her equestrian blog too.
Note that all the links below will open in a new browser window.

Just wondering if I could add a blog called

It is an hilarious account of a foals first year of life.

Take a look and tell me what you think, please!

Horse riding lovers are keep increasing in many US states. This is the right collection for those people to know more about horses by reading different horse blogs. I know how difficult it is to collect the several lists. Congrats that you have done a great job.

Hello,
My name is Chad. My daughter Bailey has this amazing passion for horses and has been taking riding lessons from an amazing friend of my wife and I. We are “city folk” per say but not Bailey! She is country at heart. She has an undying passion and love for animals, especially horses. She is very interested in pursuing Vetrinary medicine. It is awesome to see her get around the horses, it’s like you flipped a switch and a new person has arrived, smiles from ear to ear. I encouraged her to start a blog to talk about her experiences and to share her passion with other people. She has done that but is a little discouraged because she doesnt have a lot of traffic. I was just wondering if you would be willing to list her blog on your page. It would just be great for her. Thanks for your time.

Chad, thank you for stopping by my blog. I checked out your daughter’s blog. I think the problem is that she is not posting often enough and it really helps to add some photos to the post. Wishing her the best with her horse riding lesson and her blogging.
We have a blog about trail horses and trail riding. We primarily use foundation bred quarter horses. Nice of you to identify all of these blogs and group them together.

I have found alot of good info in horseadmiration.blogspot.com check it out very cool article. They cover everything.
Great list. Thanks a lot for compiling it.
If you want to own dressage horses then you are going to need dressage horse trainers. The reason for this is that there are so many different parts of the dressage horse trainers art that the rider and horse must master and be aware of.
Am glad you brought this to my attention.
A wonderful list — I hope it’s not considered snobbish to suggest my own blog as an extension to it.

Thank you so very much for all the great blogs! I am new to the blog world and just started my own site. http://www.customropehalter.com I have my rope halters for sale on the site plus adding lots of how to’s to my blog.

Such an extensive list of horse related sites! Going to start to battle my way through it right now! Thanks for putting this together!

Great site! I’m an above-knee amputee and lifelong horseman (British Horse Society Assistant Instructor, former exercise rider & freelance trainer) blogging about giving up a leg while holding onto hope. See what you think! http://lizheywoodwriter.blogspot.com/
Very much enjoy your blog! I’d like to include my blog, http://www.storystudions.blogspot.ca/
in your list of general horse blogs, if possible. It’s a compilation of true horse stories, starting with my time as a rookie mounted police officer in Toronto in the 1960′s, and continuing with the adventure of my move ‘back to the land’ to Nova Scotia, Canada- where I still am today.
All the best!

I wonder if you know if any of the blogs allow information about raffles. There is one I just became aware of on Clinton Anderson’s Facebook page. The tickets are pricey, but only 75 will be sold, so there is a good chance of winning this wonderful horse — trained by CA! See below for the info. If you think that all of the blogs might be interested, I could send the info to each of them. I just don’t want to step on anyone’s toes. This is just too good a thing not to fly, and I have been told that there might not be enough tickets sold. The horse is valued at $25,000.
Do you dream of owning a world-class athlete started with the Fundamentals at the Downunder Horsemanship Ranch? Envoye, an Arabian gelding with impeccable endurance racing bloodlines, is currently at the Downunder Horsemanship Ranch receiving 60 days of training from Clinton’s Academy students in the Fundamentals of the Method. The gelding is being raffled off to support the AERC and FEI sanctioned Yosemite Gold Cup Endurance Ride being held April 21st in California that will feature 25, 50, 75 and 100-mile rides. The winner of the raffle not only becomes the gelding’s new owner, but receives an entire day’s lesson with Envoye at the ranch from one of Clinton’s Academy students. To enter for your chance to win Envoye, for more information visit the Yosemite Gold Cup website (http://yosemitegoldcup.com/index.html). No Worries Club members can learn more about Envoye in the Winter 2012 Journal article “Untouched to Under Saddle in 30 Days. (http://www.noworriesclub.com/downloads/journals/2012/Winter/Winter2012.php)”
Thank you for putting this list together. I am a beginner blogger, and will be blogging about rodeo, breakaway roping, training and lessons and I want to be able to participate in this forum as well.
