If HI won’t even sponsor its own site why do they expect others to?

Can you consider adding maybe groundwork, more natural horsemanship, maybe something on equine therapy, the good horses do in our lives. Also I loved the posters, I always put them up on my wall, please bring them back. Thanks sooo much, I have loved every article, and it brings my dreams to life as I live through other people’s lives. Also focusing on one specific sport each article would be neat, like Eventing in one and Barrel Racing in another, and then Dressage, etc. Thanks again.

A column following a foal as he is trained to be a western reining horse!!! Or jumper, or endurance horse, or barrel racer, or dressage, etc.
That would give great advice for trainers like me, who are just starting out with their first foal.
Like you could follow the foal from birth, all throughout his first, second, third year to his first competition.
OR……what would be REALLY REALLY ineresting is a column that follows a Thoroghbred from his birth to his first race!!!
some colt starting tips/ foal training tips would be appreciated!!
hope that gives you something to think about 🙂

I love the “from the HI staff”. It makes me feel like I know the people who put the magazine together, and it makes me feel good inside knowing that they love and ride horses just as much as I do. Makes me trust what I read.
Being a trail rider, I can’t wait to see what the “Trail Guide” will cover. Horseman’s Yankee Pedlar used to have great trail riding tips but then changed the section to “rave rides” where all it tells you is where to go on your next ride and info about the place. Which might work for some people, but for me, I don’t trailer for trails unless its an all day ride w/ a group. So only do a little of “spectacular places to ride”. 🙂
LOVE the rider insider, except, I never get chosen for my answer to be in the magazine….well, maybe next time!!
Breed Profiles are good.
Horse care is interesting.
I love Western training. I’m a Western fan!!
English training is helpful as well, but mostly above my head 🙂
Horse Health is great.
Am enjoying the new “ex-racehorse diaries” as I think it would be fun to buy an OTT.
What’s New is awesome!!
Blue Ribbon deals I don’t really use.
Keep the Horse Tales in!!! I always come to the last page in a bittersweet way. One part of me is sad that the magazine is already over, but excited to read the always interesting Horse Tales 🙂
You’re doing a good job. Keep it up!!

How to detect it early and what needs to be done to keep the horse sound and ridable.
