Does Anyone Write A Blog?

[DougalJ]

Just wondering in the horsey world whether you write ( or have time!!) to write a blog. I've started one recently and have found it quite fun and it keeps a log for me what I've been doing over the last few weeks. I seem to forget what I did 3 hours ago!? If you do, do you read other peoples blogs? Are there any good horsey ones to follow?

I do a good old fashioned Diary have done for about 10 years (although behind right now as having too much fun

In the past I have found it invaluable, both as a training guide and monitoring health etc of horses. With Beacon it was so useful as I kept a record of everything from feed, turn out times and rugs to how well he went or how good he was. with his EPSM it helped me work out what worked so much easier

I have been told that I should do one, but have no idea how to go about it or how to find anyone else who does one lol

No advice for me as to if there are any good ones to follow, but I do write one, a private one that only a few friends have the link to, just so they can keep up to date with what I'm doing. I think its really helpful, not only to remember but to clear my head and sort out my feelings towards things that are bothering me; then in a few months time I go back and read it and think god, my troubles were so insignificant then!

 

[pintoarabian]

Yes. I do. It is very easy and a great way to keep a record of your horse(s). Here's a link to mine.

I have private blogs for my horses. Have found them invaluable over the years to keep track of things. Always nice to be able to look back at where you started and where you are now.

 

[DougalJ]

Interesting.... Mine is a mix of being a working mum and my life with horses amongst other things. I've just looked at yours pintoarabian and followed if that's ok. Here is mine if you want to be nosey!

Ok Ive followed too! I have made it a daily habit to log on mine now. I'm losing interest with Facebook and was spending too much time on it. This is a more productive thing to do when you have a spare few minutes in the day. Its such a good log and keepsake.

Ebony , you should defiantly do one, I bet you have loads of experience to share with others.

Can't help in how to do one though. X

i have my own blog that i run through tumblr (actually i have 4 - a personal, one dedicated to my fjords, an equestrian one and a shameless (tv show) one)

my fjord one is fjording.tumblr.com & the equestrian one is iamequestrian.tumblr.com

 

[skint1]

Got a thread for both of ours in the Training Log section on Free Speech Horse Forum, they're useful and I enjoy writing them.

If anyone is interested in setting up their own blog "Blogger" is the easiest one to set up.

 

[Beyond_Birthday]

I have a completely non horsey tumblr account if anyone wants to look ,
it is so much more addictive than facebook!

I do It's not wonderfully interesting, and it's more for 'me' really, but it's also as a sideline on my website. My artwork pays for a LOT of what I do with Dante, and hopefully will go a good way to funding us competing, so I think it's nice that if people want to see where their money goes & what I do with it, they can

Its a super blog!

 

[Shear Ease]

I don't maintain a blog but I do like to make facebook notes which is a similar idea.

 

[SusannaF]

Yes, link below It's full of all kinds of random equine stuff, from horses in hot air balloons to FEI kerfuffles.

 

[DougalJ]

Just looked at your blog SusannaF - another great one - keep them coming! I've got a Facebook page but haven't looked into adding notes. I will keep with my blog as I'm enjoying writing it at the moment. As I mentioned before, its such a good record to keep!

 

[Hovis_and_SidsMum]

Hovis writes a diary on here but I don't think that counts!!

 

[Sol]

Its a super blog!

Aww, thank you!

 

[sidesaddlegirl]

I use Blogger to write mine. I've only got 53 followers but then again, side saddle such a specialist subject!

I find it therapeutic writing it too

 

[mulledwhine]

No point in me doing one, it would read...
Day 1
Cleaned house
Mucked out stable
Fed pony
Walked dog
Fed guinea pigs
Fed fish
Put pony to bed
Read HHo

Etc etc
Forgot to say fed daughter,, whoops

 

[diet2ride]

ooh I'm glad you asked this... I would never of thought to ask here. I keep saying I want more horsey blogs to follow. most of the ones I found were American (obviously nothing wrong with that, just would like some English ones to read).

I did find the http://www.hamishcargill.com/ one the other day and enjoyed his posts.

mine isn't very horsey at the moment, or come to that very diet orientated either. Roll on Horatio's first day of school.

 

[DougalJ]

Very very true! My blog is for general moaning really!
