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. “Exercises for young horses” (Training) 

Forum user KariAM is seeking good ground and under-saddle exercises for starting young horses (there may be a baby in her future!) Share your tips and tricks with KariAM here.

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

Consider this thread your personal soapbox to tell us how awesome your horse is. Yep, it’s that easy.

3. “lymes disease” (Horse Health)

The list of suggestions so far for Tulla Rose’s gelding who suffers from Lyme disease have ranged from dietary supplements to pharmaceuticals. Do you have any experiences or ideas to share?

4. “Hand Gallop” (Ask Anything)

What IS a hand gallop? (How fast do you go vs. how fast are you SUPPOSED to go?) Add your thoughts, or horse-show stories.

5. “Horse won’t load…” (Training)

Hey, we’ve all been there at one point. Help Gracie Perry out with your tips, suggestions, stories, or just a shoulder to cry on as she struggles to get her gelding on the trailer.

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