For the past few weeks I’ve been sharing some fantastic online reading for horse lovers. However I’ve come to realize that I could spend days listing all of the different types of equine blogs out there.
The Rescue Blogs
Perhaps the most important genre of blogs when it comes to animals is the rescues. These are the people who not only spend their time helping our favorite animal, but they find time to write about their experiences as well. Of all the blogs these are the surest to make you laugh & cry. Most of the blogs below I’ve come to know through Twitter, Facebook and other forms of social media – be sure to look for them around the web as well.
I have tried to limit it to more active blogs and if I’m forgetting anyone my apologies – do speak up in the comments if I should be following your blog & I will!
The Never Ending List
A big round of applause for the facilities above for their fine work, and apologies to anyone I’ve missed. This is a fairly small list, and I imagine most rescues have better things to do than blogging. I’d love to learn of more and hope readers will leave their favorites in the comments below. Be sure to check out some horse association, magazine & general horse blogs too.
I bought a rescue here in the US and currently writing a blog about her as well what’s going on at my small farm. Dolly’s is–I think–and amazing girl. Here’s a YouTube I did about her: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OM85K8USxQU and this is her blog:http://windflowerfarmweekly.blogspot.com/
I hope you will like them.
Thanks,

Good morning Equinest:
I too work in horse rescue. My Blood Rescue project aims to raise the public’s awareness of our need to honor these remarkable animals.
This project has three moving parts: A Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/pages/Eric-L-Hansen-the-Blood-Rescue-project/566983426648380?ref=ts&fref=ts
a blogsite http://ericlhansen.net, and an art website http://www.ericlhansen.com/ for the visual images. I am working directly with Queen of Hearts Farm in my local are http://ericlhansen.net/archives/977 to promote horse rescue.
For broad, grassroots exposure, I have a solo museum exhibition of my horse art scheduled for the fall of 2014. The museum curator and I are working to travel the show on a museum circuit around the country. In conjunction with the show, we will screen Werner Herzog’s film “Cave of Forgotten Dreams” http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1664894/ have panel discussions with animal rights advocates and ranchers; and so on.
I would be honored if you would ‘like’ my Facebook page. And with your permission, I would be interested in re-posting some of your material relevant to horse rescue.
But mostly, I just want say again that there are many rescue voices coming from different places, and we’re speaking in unison with a single message! Don’t kill horses; rescue them.
All best!
Eric
