Good blogs to read?

Hi all,

Just looking for some suggestions as to good, insightful, and entertaining equine themed blogs to read. It’s very slow at my job in the winter, so I need something to do besides pace and freak out because I am bored.

I read Milestone Equestrian, and I like her writing style and choice of topics.

I have tried various equestrian podcasts but honestly, most of them are boring…

This is mine.

These are both old but very funny (if you’re okay with dark humor and some cynicism):

I am not a good writer by any means, but mine follows my adventures with my OTTB. We are mainly focusing on dressage, but dabble in other things (jumping, trail riding, the occasional XC school). There are links on there to other blogs I follow.

My go-to equestrian blogs are:

Dressage for Mere Mortals
The $900 Facebook Pony (probably my favorite! I believe she posts on here, too.)
The Blonde and the Bay
She Moved to Texas

I’ll throw mine out there:

A good chunk of the right column of my website is also dedicated to other blogs I enjoy.

Boss Mare Eventing

Mine is simple Northern California trail and endurance adventures, and some DIY too. (plus pretty scenery!)

I have a blog list on my site of others I like, but here are some:

Liz just brought her horses home, fun reads: http://liz-stout.blogspot.com/

Some great adventures in New Jersey: http://harnessphoto.blogspot.com/

Roaming rider has nice insights: https://roaming-rider.com/

and Equine Ink is always reliably interesting: https://equineink.com/

I’ll admit to way too much blog reading, need to do more commenting!

Not a written blog, but I really enjoy Eliza Wallace Eventing on YouTube. Her mustang challenge was a real thrill and her YouTube posts are entertaining and informative.

Mine is at https://www.teamflyingsolo.com – I had a bit of a hiatus, but am trying to post more often again. But there is lots of older content from the last 10 yrs (eek!). I also have links to an assortment of other horse blogs on the left side, there are lots of great blogs out there.
