The Equinest has some new areas to show off, I’ve now added a video section and a photo section. Both of them pull off the web, where they were posted by horse lovers all over the world.

Not just a one trick pony

Videos about horses seem to be a popular item, so I added a section dedicated solely to horses in the digital age.

In horse video section you can find the latest and the most popular equines on film collected from accross the internet and brought to one place for your viewing pleasure.

There will be some random videos, but as the technology becomes more refined, so will this section.

Find yourself a horse to adopt in our horse photo section, many of these animals have been abused or neglected and now they need a home. Go shopping, or just enjoy a random selection of the best equine pictures the internet has to offer.

Horse Breed Pages Finished

Thursday, September 13th, 2007

The breeds are finished

Finally I’ve been inspired to complete the information about the breeds listed on my horse breeds page

I’ve listed a brief history, colors, features, and temperament information along with great confirmation photos and important links for each breed, including:
Horse from a Swedish native breed - Nordsvensk, Nordens Ark, April 16 2007

  • Helpful links
  • Links to specific breed listings
  • Breed stud listings
  • Breed art
  • Links to books and informational reading about each breed
  • The future

    I’m slowly making my way through the history of horses and I’ll continue to contribute to the breeds as I get through them. Starting with the ancient breeds of the old world and working my way to the newer breeds of North America.
