Welcome to HorseHints. It is my hope that this site will become one of your favorite informational horse sites! Please share HorseHints with your friends, too.

Human history and horse history have been connected through the ages. It may be as much as 5,000 years. From chariots to the Pony Express, to the present day, horses have played major roles in many cultures around the world. Our equine friends have wonderful rhythm and style. They continue to be part of our human fabric--thrilling and influencing us today. Knowledge about horses is endless. This may be one of the many reasons that make our equine friends so interesting. "HorseHints" will be a growing informational site addressing everything dealing with horses. An endless vacuum of knowledge and research keeps horse people alert and vibrant. This sight is interactive. I will research and respond to your suggestions and inquiries. Then, I will upload the information to this site. For me this is a joy.

The following are categories that I hope will be of interest to you. The main topics are in alphabetical order to make it easier for you to browse. You can also use the google search. It searches for content on my site, only. The search is located in the upper right hand corner of this index page. It is a quick and easy way to find articles that pertain to the information for which you may be searching.

In the upper left hand corner of my home page, is my RSS Feed. Just log on and you will receive e-mail notifications of new articles added to HorseHints, as I research, write them and upload to HorseHints. Internet Explorer 7, Outlook 2007 and newer versions of FireFox have built-in Feed readers. Outlook Express version 6 does not have a Feed reader, but there are a number of Feed readers and feed reading plug-ins available on the Internet. For a free stand alone reader try this one from FeedReader.com Vista comes with a new e-mail system called Windows Mail. I assume that will read RSS but I do not know for sure.
