I usually love to visit other animal blogs and websites. I am the type of person that really likes to surf by following links on blog posts or websites. I have a very active anti-virus software that will warn and then block a website should it find a trojan or virus there. Yes, you can get a virus just by visiting a website without intentionally downloading something. Most of the sites I can find something of interest but there are 2 things that just rub me wrong. One is music. Often the music starts after the website has loaded and I am reading the page. It is often loud and not my style so I then have to rush the mute the sound on my computer. The next item is those live chat software boxes that show up. No, I don’t want to talk to a customer rep, nor do I have a question. Those two things will chase me off of a website faster than someone with a “I have to kill animals because it is a human right to”, statement. Yes there are websites out there like that. Those are the ones with the Christian music and bible versus to back up their misguided thoughts. You get all kinds.
This little guy is an ambassador for a horse rescue in California. He is letting people know about the plight of many horses during this recession. Watch the video below:
For more information on Macho Man and Nor Cal you can visit them at their website-
Barn Culture has a detailed page that lists trail riding areas. It is listed alphabetically so it might take some time to look up a local trail in your area if you are not familiar with the name of the regional or state park. It could turn out to be a great resource for you for areas to ride that you had not heard of before. The website is also having a contest where they are giving away a new saddle pad if you sign-up 15 friends. I am so sorry that I don’t know 15 fellow horse owners or riders so I can sign them up. Back in my boarding stable days I could, but not anymore.
The website seems newer and has a nice news page that has press releases from mostly the English riding world. There is a horse video section but when I clicked on it I got the message “members only area”. So you have to sign-up for that. Becoming a member is free and there are private chat areas for members.
It seems like a decent site but as a webmaster I have to say they need to fix their Google ads to ban certain ads that are appearing on their site. When I visited there were at least “chat with a sex starved blonde” and “looking for love or sex” ads on there. I hope they fix it as it does distract from a nice overall looking site.
