Just reminiscing…I really miss my favorite stops: Mugwump Chronicles, We’re Flying Solo, Life At The Rough String, Equestrian Ink. And the (in)famous Fugly Horse Of The Day.
The blogging era seems to be waning. Even my favorite active blogs don’t post with the same regularity, and not a lot of new ones have come around to grab my attention. It makes me sad.

I came in at the end of the blog period and read all the back posts of some of these blogs. I really like Hoofs Blog by Mercedes that was a cinformation education spin-off from Fugly but it only lasted a year or two before blogger burned out. Still up to read though.
I guess it’s true, the more talented blogs have dried up. It’s a lot of work, ID assume.
Would love to hear if you all have current active faves!
I wonder if folks are doing more fb and YouTube these days? I have been following hoof dissection on fb Study of the equine foot ( maybe it’s hoof?) Which has bloggy aspects. But not sure how long she can countinue at this pace.
I miss Fugly. I really do. I loved the “Tour of Garlic!”

This is not a blog, but from COTH. In case you want something to settle in and read. Interesting read:
The Busted-Up Cowgirl – hilarious and outstanding way of scamming the scammers.
Sleep-Talking Man - not horse-related, but absolutely hysterical.
Saving Argus…
The Many Misadventures of McKenzie The Horse…
Dressage Curmudgeon was my favorite. She stopped blogging before we heard the ending!

I am still hoping the Crone of Cottonmouth County will start blogging again on Dreadful Acres!

Most of the active horsey blogs are on Tumblr now, there are a couple of fFHOTD-style blogs calling out bad horsemanship/fugly horse breeding and a bunch of show ring gossip/drama blogs lol. Plus personal blogs of course. Format is a bit different from classic blogs due to the ability to “reblog” and the social aspect but allows for more original content than other social media sites.
