Today’s horse blogger of the week is none other than Fran Jurga the hoof care & health guru. You can find more of her stuff on Fran Jurga’s Hoof Care Blog & The Jurga Report (don’t forget to grab her RSS feeds while you are there).

A busy lady, Fran keeps up two blogs and has time for social media. Her hoof blog provides advice, news & information about hoof health while The Jurga Report keeps readers updated with the latest news in health care, equine science & research in the horse world.

Today’s blog of the week is a fun one from the folks over at The Horse Diva. You can find featured products (& contests) on their diva blog (don’t forget to grab their RSS feed while you are there).

Let’s face it, their products are cute with a capital C & their blog is a fairly new way for them to share some of their most popular products and interact with their customers. Posts provide clean, clear images of the goods with anecdotes and descriptions, peppered with events & photos.

Today the blogger of the week is hilarious Mara, book (& movie) review extraordinaire. You can find more of her stuff on her blog Whitebrook Farm (& don’t forget to grab her RSS feed while you are there).

If it’s in print, on cable or on the big screen and it has anything to do with horses, chances are Mara has watched/read it and written a lengthly review about it. Her articles are well thought out and should I find a title I want to read I’ll definitely look up her review before I open the cover.

Today’s blogger of the week is Jessica McCune a talented model horse artist. You can find more of her stuff on her blog Tacky Tack of the Day (& don’t forget to grab her RSS feed while you are there).

This blog is one of those ‘guilty reads’ she posts some atrocious images, has opinionated views & I love it that she shares them. Beyond just ugly to look at, much of the equipment she posts is of poor quality or downright abusive. Snide name aside, the articles on her blog are surprisingly thoughtful in their critiques (& her scary pink saddles of the week segment is priceless).

Something very different today, the horse blogger of the week is Julie Size who is also the regional editor for Saddle and Bridle magazine. You can find more of her stuff on her blog Riding Aside (& don’t forget to grab her RSS feed while you are there).

There are very few blogs out there about riding aside so in a way Julie’s sets the standard. Her enthusiasm for (and complete immersion in) the discipline makes her posts colorful & they provide a glimpse into a horse industry virtually unknown to many of us. This is one dedicated blogger, Julie also maintains several blogs beyond her sidesaddle adventures.
