Blog Hop
Every now and then there is an equestrian blog hop organised by Heather Wallace at the Timid Rider. The blog hop involves a group of bloggers all coming together and writing about a specific topic or taking part in a challenge together.
All the posts in this category were created as part of an equestrian blog hop. You will be able to find all other posts included in that particular blog hop at the bottom of the post.
So yesterday most of the bloggers taking part in Blogtober wrote about their perfect Autumn day. I loved the idea of this and thought I would share my own perfect Autumn horsey day with you all. Firstly, it would be a weekend, so I get a little bit longer in…
Last month I was sent a bag of HoneyChop Plus Herbs chaff to review. They are a brand I have always seen at shows but never used personally. However, many of my horsey friends including my riding instructor and a fellow ex racehorse owner both feed HoneyChop products, so when…
I am a huge fan of polework for horses and use it often with Scottie. Polework isn’t just for jumpers! And nor is just for people who don’t want to leave the ground. It can be used to help teach a new movement, build muscle or even just give the…
I am a part of quite a few bloggers groups on Facebook now and all of these groups run variations on this Like for a Like posts to help members build their social media presence. But I have mixed feelings about these types of post and I think bloggers should…
Thoroughbreds have a reputation of being difficult and expensive to feed. I regularly see people asking for advice on feeding their thoroughbred and there is so much fantastic advice out there both from thoroughbred owners and feed companies. Even I have touched upon this subject before, driving home the ideas…
If you have a horse, even if you don’t have children of your own, there are probably going to be times where a child expresses an interest in meeting your horse and perhaps being involved in horses in one way or another. When you aren’t a parent, I think this…
We all love to treat our horses and often want to spoil them rotten! There are plenty of different treats on the market, but with horses being natural foragers, I think it is nice to treat them to fresh fruit and veg occasionally. But apart from the common treats of…
I just wanted to express to you all what a relief it is to be free again! I know Mum has been telling you about my imprisonment, so you should all know that I was locked away for almost an entire week! A week! I guess I can kinda understand…
Scottie is fairly accident prone, which has led to several stints of box rest over the years. From these experiences I have managed to perfect what works best for us which makes the whole process much easier. So here are my top tips for surviving box rest with your horse.…
(Lordships Graffalo 2013) I was really lucky that while studying my degree (Equine Science Breeding and Stud Management) we had our very own stud on campus. Not only did we have our own stud, but the breeding aims of the stud was to breed quality sports horses. This meant we…
Some of you may have seen on my social media this week that Scottie has been on box rest, so I thought I would give you all a bit of an update to what has been going on with him. Uncomfortable Month For the past month Scottie has been feeling…
Last month I was sent a couple of new thermals to review from ZeroFit. These Heat Rub thermals are new to the market and use brand new technology to not only keep you warm, but warm you up. Today I will be looking at the Heat Rub Move. Keep your…
Along with Blogtober, this month we also have #Horsetober. This is a very similar idea and it basically consists of you sharing a photo every day on your social media. Cheval et moi has created a guide of photos to share each day to challenge you to share different content…
On one of the blogging groups I am in I saw several members setting the challenge of Blogtober. This is quite a difficult challenge, especially for smaller bloggers, but I think it is something all bloggers should look at accepting one way or another. What is Blogtober? Blogtober is basically…
