“Welcome, horse lovers.”
That’s the sign that hangs in my home’s entryway. And it’s the same greeting I want to extend to all of you. It’s the feeling I hope you’ll find here at the America’s Horse Daily community – a sense of ease that you’re among like-minded folks. After all, all of us, no matter what kind of horse we own or how advanced a rider we are, are on the path to better horsemanship, learning and growing as we go.
So now that you’ve been properly greeted, I suppose a few introductions are in order. First, I’d like you to meet – to get comfortable with – our redesigned site. We’re hoping to make navigation easier for you, and we’ve added features like a list of related tips at the end of each article. The site is also searchable, so you can more easily find what you’re looking for. And stick with us … our archives will only get bigger and better! We’re continually adding new educational articles, listed by topic – recreational riding, showing, breeding, health and training. If you’re interested in one (or more!) specific topics, be sure to sign up for our interest-specific e-mail newsletters. Read the rest of this entry »
