The Horse mag is really a great resource if you have a horse that has a bizarre, unexplainable problem. Most of their articles deal with cutting edge medical research or physical health problems so for that avenue of knowledge I would write they are the best resource I know.

Also, a good mag if you are pursuing some sort of health career with horses (i.e. massage, chiropractic, vet tech…)

So there is a use for it… people just need to know what it can provide and what it cannot.

I do recall discussing this before now that you mention it. Sad. We are making our own little magazine here on the internet for those interested in the whole horse and not just the mechanical one.

The Horse usually concentrates upon medical issues that are sport related. As I’ve posted before, they have no interest in promoting the horse for anything but sport, and when it cannot be used for sport should be euthanized or slaughtered – so these results do not surprise me.

Read the back issues and The Horses’ policy stand is clear. I’d use the mag for medical assistance but certainly not for “training.”

Sad, because there’s always learn about all of it!

Yeah, I am not really all that surprised. I think that those of us interested in those topics are a small minority of horse lovers. Unfortunately.
