Equestrian Vine star Michael Renker channels the weird horse girl in all of us in six seconds or fewer with this ongoing series. Because it’s hard out there for a...
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Just kidding. These all fall firmly into the worst category.

Most of the time, as horse people, we are fairly adept at holding our tongues. That’s because we hear so many opinions, suggestions, dramatic barn stories, etc., on a daily...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tduvw-57LwU Of course, we humans all have regrets. Luckily for horses, they do not have smartphones nor the thumbs available to document theirs. Until they do, we can enjoy these regrets...
Why the long face? Hmm, perhaps because of a little thing called loneliness? We love our critters, and most of the time, they love us back. But it's only natural...
The dating scene is hard. Very hard. And while there are lots of fish out in that sea, the not-so-rare equestrian girl is a unique species. It takes a special,...
Equestrian sport, like beach volleyball and gymnastics before it, has the unique distinction of requiring a rather unforgiving wardrobe. Whether you’re kicking a*s and taking names in your dressage test, or going clear...
The only thing more popular than Adele’s latest hit “Hello”? Parodies of the singer’s instant classic. Now, thanks to Kelly Jewell, we have an equestrian version. Between the mud slinging, dancing on the car and cleverly...

Every year, we gather 'round the table to remember the things we are thankful for this holiday season. Good health. Mild weather. A stable job (badum tish!). But while wacky Aunt June and the rest of your non-horsey...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcM7dKAOkTg I love judging IHSA and IEA shows. Both are great organizations that offer a fun, reasonably priced way for beginners to learn how to ride and for advanced riders...
I was recently thinking about all the things we horse people do that seem completely normal to us, but are probably completely odd to non-equestrians. So I thought I would...
So you’ve gone on three dates with this guy and he keeps telling you that he can’t wait to “go riding with you.” He wants to show you his natural...
