Mary Ann Kennedy just sent me an email about her two new songs and a special CD sale. I have both of Mary Ann’s music CDs, “Hoofbeats, Heartbeats and Wings” and “The Trail Less Traveled“ and love them both equally. Her songs really go straight to my heart. I love songs about horses and to find CDs with more than one horse song on them is a total delight.
A Fire Runs Through It.
…horses standing here right in the middle of all the smoke and fires smoldering and the aftermath of the main fire that ran through here. I almost couldn’t believe that about 25 horses were standing here and their fences had all melted or burned away.

This sterile stallion story has already received 191 comments! It seems to have drawn enough interest from horse people that most commented on the story.
I just found this news release about a new horse business started by a young person named, Alyssa Hapgood: Teenager’s patent leads to family business
This thoroughbred race horse is believed to be the oldest one racing in North America and he is a crowd pleaser. He is the son of Afleet and has won 14 races so far; 7 after the age of 13.

So it nice to read about one that has beat the odds and is still running and winning at age 15. I do hope they give him a wonderful retirement as they are quoted as planning to.

The car is as cute as a toy pony and makes the sound of horse hooves on pavement to alert people. I love my electric golf cart and I do get the horse hoof sounds from my real ponies when they run besides it going down the gravel road to my mother’s pasture, but I would love to see this car put info action on America city streets. The U.S. really needs a good electric car to help with air and sound pollution and to cut the cost of travel due to the high cost of gasoline.
I love this car’s tiny size but then I am attracted to ponies. For many horse people that ride huge warmbloods and fat-butt quarterhorses this car may take some getting use to. At 41 miles per hour it is as fast as a thoroughbred horse galloping, but it is Read the rest of this entry »
But what is the truth about horse slaughter and are you getting it?
I just found this news article: The relationship between horse slaughter and reported cases of abuse and neglect that takes a magnified look and goes into studied detailed about this controversial issue of equine slaughter and if it is for the best or not. This news report doesn’t just state what one people thinks is going on or what they think will happen in the future. It gets scientific with graphics, records, numbers, and history.

I just discovered the news about a new upcoming equine game made for the Wii. It is a horseback riding and equestrian lifestyle video game that features some cool horse graphics. It will have many modes to play in — the main one being the Championship mode where game players riding on their virtual horses can challenge others in equine events held both inside and outside. The snapshot of the indoor riding arena is amazing.
“My Horse and Me” is a game where you can play with horse in different virtual locations from rustic stables to classical riding schools.This horse game is expected to be released in Read the rest of this entry »
