I won’t deny it. The last few months have been tough. Zelda was a big personality and one of the most fun horses I’ve ever owned, and I’ve missed her terribly. It’s the primary reason why I haven’t been blogging, although Finn is turning into a sweet, mischievous boy with whom I’m sure I’ll have [...] The post Memorializing your Horse appeared first on EQUINE Ink ..read more

I’ve always loved the Budweiser commercials that featured their magnificent Clydesdales — except for the horses’ docked tails, a practice that is both cruel and unnecessary. Thankfully, Anheuser-Bush recently announced that it had stopped docking the tails of its Clydesdales, stating that “The safety and well-being of our beloved Clydesdales is our top priority.” It’s [...] The post Anheuser-Busch has Stopped Docking Budweiser Clydesdales’ Tails appeared first on EQUINE Ink ..read more

Finn needed a new home and I needed a new horse, but it wasn’t until recently that I started [...] The post Introducing Finn appeared first on EQUINE Ink ..read more
