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. “Outbreak Alert online tracker” (Horse Health)

Horse show season is upon us, and that means, unfortunately, more opportunities for serious diseases to spread. Check out this tool linked in the post and see what outbreaks are in your area.

2. “Finding Horse Pedigree” (Ask Anything)

Need help finding a horse’s pedigree? Post what you know here–there’s already been one success story! If you are a breed association member, please stop by and see what you can do to help other readers find their horses.

3. “Kypris has arrived!” (Brag Board)

Forum user KariAM’s new project horse has arrived at the farm and she’ll be keeping us updated as the horse moves through training (and hopefully as her muddy farm dries out so she can ride in the first place.) Keep up here!

4. “Favorite places to trail ride?” (Endurance/Trail)

Describe your favorite trails, whether they’re public or private. Also post your suggestions by location: some readers are looking for a good place to start and seek advice.

5. “Horsewomen’s Recipe Exchange” (Community Exchange)

Spring = more riding = less time in the kitchen. What are your fellow equestrians making for dinner that frees up more time for the barn? Get some fresh ideas here and share your own go-to recipes.

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