5 Topics You Missed at Equestrians Anonymous

Are you a member of Horse Nation’s own forums Equestrians Anonymous? Here are 5 conversations you missed this week!

We get it: there are only so many times you can tell your coworker about how your show went last weekend, and even your fellow boarders get tired of discussing the pros and cons of hoof supplements after awhile. Maybe you need to bounce an idea off of a new crowd of horse people, or maybe you’re seeking opinions on a bit or saddle pad and want some feedback. No matter what reason you come to Horse Nation’s own forums Equestrians Anonymous, we’re positive you’ll find a supportive community of fellow horse lovers in a happy, judgement-free zone.

Here are five conversations going on right now:

1. Are you prepared for an emergency? (WARHorses)

Join other “women of age riding horses” to discuss!

5. Low thyroid in a horse??? (Horse Health)
