Equestrians Anonymous: This Week’s Top 5 From the Forums

We’ll bring you the five best conversations from our forums each week. Check out Equestrians Anonymous and let your voice be heard!

If you haven’t been a regular on Horse Nation’s forum board Equestrians Anonymous, then you’re really missing out. Picture the tack room or the barn aisle at the end of the day: You’re hanging out with your barn buddies, speaking that magical language of equestrian that no one at home will ever understand, and it hits you that you are among your people. That’s what Equestrians Anonymous is like, and here are the top five conversations going on right now:

1. “lymes disease” (Horse Health)

Forum user Tulla Rose recently found out her gelding has Lyme disease, and has noticed some major personality shifts with cold weather. Anyone else have experience with this disease? Offer your sympathies and tips for Tulla here.

2. “Introduce us to your horse(s)!” (Brag Board)

We can’t come up with a good reason NOT to join this thread–tell us about your horses! Share photos and fun stories about the reason that brought us all here in the first place.

3. “World’s worst dressage caller” (Dressage)

Forum user KariAM shared this absolutely hysterical video of the best worst dressage test reader we’ve ever seen. Check it out for yourself.

4. “Weirdest Thing You’ve Encountered on a Trail Ride?” (Endurance/Trail)

The stories just keep getting weirder–see what your fellow Equestrians Anonymous have found on their rides, and share your own strange encounters.

5. “First lesson at new barn-concerns?” (Ask Anything)

Remember Rachel Hartley’s not-so-great first lesson with a new instructor? She returned for a second attempt, and you’ll be interested to know how it went…check it out here and add your thoughts!

So what are you waiting for? Join any of these conversations, or start your own–we’re all crazy horse people here.
