L. said it a little while ago: after bright resurgence (due, among other things, to the final collapse of LiveJournal)(damn, I miss LJ), horse blogging is starting to fade again.
I’ve been putting myself on a bit of a media diet, and have been trimming out dead blogs from my RSS reader, as well as a variety of things I just don’t need to be exposed to (I’m looking at you, Harvard Business Review).
But checking and reading blogs is still very much a part of my daily routine; trimming doesn’t mean I don’t want to read them, just that I want to focus on quality content that makes me think.
So, to that end: recommend a horse blog or two to me. What are you reading now? Whose blog should everyone be reading?
I’m not sure who you currently follow, but I like reading Liz Stout! She does a variety of things with her three horses including endurance and eventing.

Cathryn just brought home a new foal! She also has wonderful adventures on Annie in eventing, and Spud is the cutest little cart pony EVER. http://twoandahalfhorses.blogspot.com/

I guess it is dependent on what you are trying to avoid in your media diet. I personally prefer authentic journey’s which don’t focus so much on buying and reviewing things, I do lovewhen they go to horse shows and clinics though so I can absorb lessons they are learning through their posts. I also really love discussions on theory so Megan’s blog A Enter Spooking is one of my faves (helps we are IRL friends too) and Jen CobJockey is also great.
The 6 degrees project has a lot of links in it: http://suenostomanvuelo.blogspot.com/2019/10/project-complete-were-all-6-degrees.html
And of course Emma’s blog (FraidyCatEvetning) sidebar has the most blogs (and active ones) of anything I’ve ever seen

With my move from horse blogging to writing about non-horse personal subjects on a different blog, my own interests in blog reading material have shifted. That said, the few horse blogs I still follow are similar to L’s preferences: if a blogger starts doing too many reviews/talking about things she buys, I tend to unfollow. I like authenticity, honesty, and depth. The one horse blog that, for me, encompasses all of those qualities right now is Dom’s: http://harnessphoto.blogspot.com/ It’s still the one blog where I will read every single post. 🙂
You didn’t ask, but when it comes to non-equestrian subjects, no one beats The Bloggess: http://www.thebloggess.com Jenny Lawson’s blog has made such an enormous difference in how I handle my own emotions and anxiety. She normalized so much of what makes me “me,” and I love her blog for that.
