It’s that time again, horse game time. My initial list of horse games grew quickly so I’ve divided it into categories that are easier to digest.

Each horse lover will have different types of games that they enjoy playing & there is a category for everyone. If you haven’t already seen them be sure to check out jumping games, dress up games, racing games & flash games too!

The virtual games allow horse lovers to care for, manage, breed and show virtual horses. All of the fun with none of the mess!

For my first horse blogger of the week I had to mention my friend (and frequent guest poster) Eleanor Van Natta over at Sage By Nature. Be sure to visit her Sage Blog (& grab her RSS feed while you are there). Plus you can find all of her guest articles on her author’s page.

Eleanor writes about horse health with emphasis on a natural approach, and most of what she writes is based on (sometimes painful) personal experience.

Her work provides insight into common situations through her experiences, and facts based on her extensive research. All of this peppered with a dose of humor, poetic metaphors & loads of resources.

It’s Wednesday and time for another dose of online horse games. I started cataloguing these games some time ago when I wrote a post about them & with reader additions the list continues to grow.

So I’ve developed more organized lists separating them into different types. As always different games will appeal to different people & these lists help you target your interests. Be sure to check out jumping games, dress up games & racing games too!

This list encompasses a number of flash games that don’t really fall into any other category. From Horse Bowling to Pony Memory to Dungfoo Donkey, there is hours of entertainment here.

It’s horse game wednesday, a day for sharing games I’ve combed the web to find. What started out as one post about horse games online has actually grown into quite a collection.

With such variety, it’s safe to say that what some people enjoy, others won’t like. I’ll hunt them down and organize them, you decide which ones you like. So far I’ve featured jumping games and dress up games and there are plenty more to come.

Today it’s all about going fast, whether you are racing a Thoroughbred, a chariot or a sock pony get ready to beat your opponent!

It seems that horse lovers also like to play horse games online & the variety of games is endless. What started out as a single post about online horse games is slowly blossoming into a section.

Different games will suit different audiences, last week I featured jumping games online and this week we satisfy a younger crowd with horsey dress up games.

Each one of the games below allows you to use your imagination and create your dream horse (or unicorn as the case may be).

The horse games post has continued to be one of my most popular. It seems horse lovers do enjoy an online game or two.

The list has gotten so long it has become cumbersome so I decided if people like them so much I should better organize them so they are easy to find.

Today it’s all about horse jumping games online, test your skill over fences.

Running a big website means I always need more images and there are a number of places I go to find them. Although it’s important to keep trade secrets close to your heart, I decided to share my sources for royalty free horse images with my readers.

For all of you writers and bloggers out there, images help to make an article more digestible and help to emphasize important (or funny) points.

Here is a solid list of places to find stock photography of the equine kind.

Remember that this photography is not in the public domain, images from the following sites must be purchased for use (unless otherwise noted).

While they render my list of horses on twitter pretty much obsolete, the newly introduced Twitter lists are a great way to keep track of your friends. I’ve been working hard to get mine put together and to help organize horses on the twittersphere.

Here are the lists I’ve developed in one place so they are easy to navigate & find. For each category there is a short description so you will know what to expect.

I’m sure there will be some crossover and some Twitterers will fit into several categories, however I’m trying to limit everyone to just one list for now.
