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. “Horses and Hot Weather” (Horse Health)

What are your strategies for keeping your herd cool and comfy during the hottest summer days? Share photos and stories here! (And if anyone mentions an air-conditioned barn, we are so there.)

2. “Exercises for young horses” (Training)

Whether you’re starting your own young horse or are an experienced trainer, look for new ideas and tips and share your own methods here! Under saddle or ground work — any ideas are welcome.

3. “Mustangs” (Breeding)

No matter where you stand on the hot-button issue of mustangs and population control, we want you to join us in conversation! Should mustang numbers be limited? What’s the best way to handle the herds?

4. “What do you drive to haul?” (The Unstable Life)

We ought to move this thread to the Brag Board so everyone can brag about their sweet rides and abilities to pull a trailer (and especially for backing that thing up.)

5. “Not about a horse this time :)” (Brag Board)

Brag about your horse husbands (or wives) and family! Whether they ride as well, or they’re just along for the ride to help you with your addiction, we want to hear about your support crew.

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