MiKael's Mania - Arabian Horses Welcomes the 4th Horse Lovers Blog Carnival

Welcome to the February 21, 2007 edition of horse lovers blog carnival. This is the third week in February that this carnival has been run and we hope that you've been following along and finding new horse blogs. I had some trouble adapting the code that was supplied to the new blogger format. There are 18 submissions. My subject breaks are wierd and I haven't figured out how to fix them. So be sure and scroll all the way down so you don't miss any blogs. Also, let me know if you're having trouble with any links. I think I got them all fixed, but just to be safe.

This week's theme is

All Things Equine

and I think you'll find at least one distant relative of the horse featured here as well as some other fun,thought provoking, and interesting articles. If you like what you see, be sure to spread the word to your friends and fellow bloggers. We'd like to see the horse blogging community continue to grow.

MiKael Caillier presents Harvey Jacobs and Arabian Horses posted at MiKael's Mania - Arabian Horses saying, "An old cowboy raised on a working ranch with old cowboy ways has found his own path to teaching horses in a caring and trusting manner. One of the most outstanding horsemen I've met in my life, Harvey has helped change forever the way I deal with my horses. While Harvey wouldn't call himself a horse whisperer and laughs at the term, if anyone understands these beautiful creatures, it's Harvey." This is a detailed account of how Harvey worked with a young stallion in a round pen with a band of mares in heat right outside with their tails over their backs talking to the colt. Did Harvey get the stud's undivided attention? You bet he did and it was simple and painless for the horse.

MiKael Caillier presents New Thinking about Clubfeet in Arabian Horses posted at
MiKael's Mania - Arabian Horses saying, "Many think that the clubfoot in horses is a genetic condition but new evidence suggest that it may also be the result of injury to the horse.
