As long as I can remember I have had a love of horses. When I was very young I collected model horses, and played for hours with them. Then my sisters both bought horses and brought me with them riding, I was in love. Just watching them, grooming them, even cleaning up after them thrilled me to the core. I love their beauty both inner and outer, gentle and kind, frisky and fun, playful and naughty, the horse has a personality like no other. The horse so strong, wild and free, yet they choose ...
Some things to consider BEFORE you giddyup and go-go to get one...
Since the ripe old age of four I have been obsessed with horses. Having passed the 40-something mark without losing interest (hey, I even kept all my Breyers :o), I think it's fairly safe to declare them a lifelong love. While the other kids in my kindergarten class were drawing stick people, I was drawing tubby little horses with ridiculous manes and tails. Every year (and often in between) I would ask the Lord, my parents, grandparents (both sets just in case), Santa Claus, The Easter B...
It was a tale that just HAD to be told...
Shadow is by far the biggest and most eclectic equine personality at Epic Farms. Sometimes funny, sometimes fragile, and always entertaining; we just never know what we're going to get from day to day. If you look carefully, you'll notice that the very first photo [page 1] is the picture perfect pose I used to turn our little Drama Mama into a cartoon mascot ;o) The day the majority of the pictures used in the story were taken, it was fairly cold and Shadow had colicked. It was early in the ...
Solving The Mystery Of Girls And Their Love For Horses
The Horse Review, a group here on Squidoo was created with the horse lover in mind. When Lensmaster Horse And Pony invited me to join her group, my first thought was while I'm a horse lover for sure, I'm not involved with anything horse related these days. What could I bring to The Horse Review if I'm not currently involved with horses ? I then realized I can bring some lasting memories of past experiences to share. When I was a Iittle girl, I fell in love with everything related to horses....

There are hundred of breeds of horse, each put into different categories because of their similar features and usage. I will show you here just a few of the more common breeds and categories. Each group or category has its own wonderful group of breeds that could just melt your heart. Take a look at some of these majestic animals.
Taya Talks About Her "Berry Busy Days"...
Anytime I watch horses I get dialogue. I don't mean I sit there and try to make it up, I mean it's just sort of there; running through my head automatically in accordance with what I see. While it definitely ups the fun factor of watching horses interact, I often wind up laughing out loud [at aforementioned mental dialogue] "in public" and earn myself some mighty strange looks in return :o) This is a short, but hopefully entertaining lens featuring some pictures of Taya that were just too cu...
The newest member of The Girls
Our latest and final resident, Sara (a.k.a. Blue Seranade, a.k.a. Sarabear), was donated to the farm not long ago. Her owner was selling all her horses, but due to an abusive past she wanted Sara to go somewhere special where she would be well cared for and understood. When an abused horse is moved to a new home, there is often regression which requires careful handling and a longer period of adjustment. For all you horse lovers out there (or anyone interested in animal psychology :o) I give...
Taking care of Our Horse Friends the BEST Ways possible....Well Planned Horse Barns and Facilities
One of our passions is to help people enjoy the wonderful relationship of Man & Horse, providing a lifestyle rich in the reward of accomplishment and personal growth. We have assumed a huge responsibilities when we "domesticated" the Horse. Taking this natural survivor out of its element has put stress and conditions not found in the wild. The horse, being a Prey Animal, developed the Herd mentality for survival. When we keep a horse, we become it's Herd Memeber, and that relationship varie...
This is Shadow
One of two Tennessee Walking Horses (TWH for short) at Epic Farms and our resident PDQ (Professional Drama Queen). His lens is designed to give you some insight into the Walking Horse breed as well as talk about himself (his most favoritist subject :o) Walking Horses are very well known for their smooth gliding gait, known as the "running walk". Bred by plantation owners who spent long hours in the saddle, Walking Horses are extremely gentle and make excellent trail horses. They also have won...
Newsflash: Film at 11...
Deworming your horse does not have to be a total "night-mare", nor does it have to be some stress inducing ridiculous undertaking (honest :o) With a few simple steps you can go from "It's kind of like doing aerobic exercise with a giraffe" to "Man, that was EASY". This lens is primarily for horses that do not like worm paste (in other words, 99.999% of them). The PHOTO on the left is Champ; he would represent the other .0001% of the equine population. He has always loved deworming time and i...
