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. “I went to a horse auction for the first time…” (The Unstable Life)

Ever been to a horse auction? Any commentary is welcome, from the high-end stock sales to the low-end “meat” auctions. Share your stories, especially your success stories!

2. “Starting Canter” (Training)

Have any advice for a rider who is working on the canter with a horse for the first time? Have any of your own experiences to share, or recognize your own question within the discussion? Come and share!

3. “Favorite horsey movies?” (Community Exchange)

From the epic to the cheesy to the downright ridiculous, share your favorite horsey movies and find some new suggestions for what you should line up next on Netflix.

4. “Bad things come in threes …” (Horse Health)

What started as a venting session about all three of Kristen’s then-lame and/or under-the-weather horses has turned into a discussion of home remedies for thrush. Have some experiences to share? Weigh in!

5. “Kypris has arrived!” (Brag Board)

KariAM is now backing her young horse! Stop by and see her progress, and share your own young-horse-starting stories and tips here.

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