Links and Resources

Lady_MCSE · 03-21-2008, 12:24 PM

I hope this is OK to post. I suppose that some of it sort of "competes" with Horsetopia, but sometimes there's no good substitute for having local contacts and resources. And I'm going to try to stick to the theory that "if you haven't got anything nice to say, don't say it at all." Most of these links I'm putting up are Illinois-based, with a couple for Wisconsin because I'm up near the border there.

If you have additional websites or organizations you'd like to mention, post them here. I imagine PVF will keep us in line if there's anything wrong with it.

Illinois Horse is a website with several links and resources, with listings of places to trail ride, equine schools, events in Illinois, etc.
http://www.illinoishorse.com/

Horsetradin' is run by the Illinois Horse people, and when you go to the above site for illinoishorse, and click on "classifieds," it sends you over here. I'm always looking in here for good deals.

From The Horse's Mouth Equine Paper circulation covers parts of Illinois, Wisconsin, and Indiana. The paper is published monthly and sells for $2.50.

The Hooved Animal Humane Society (HAHS) is a Non-Profit 501(c)(3) organization, founded in 1971 by six concerned and committed citizens.

Thanks Lady M!

It isn't like I don't need to get any homework done...I can just waste my time on more horse sites.

Hmm, looks like there's been some archiving going on . . . ?? Bumping this to the top.

Thanks Lady,

The only one i can add is,
This one is Indiana Trailriders.org
www.intrailriders.org

I know there is a Will County Trailriders association also, but i cant find/remember their website, But a lady i know belongs to it and she said that they meet every sunday from April through Sept. and go on rides.

I Love Horsetradin I listed my horse for lease, and my stall for rent on that site, I check it daily for classifieds.

I also love from the horses mouth, I pick that up every chance i get, It lists all shows going on locally, which i dont particpate in, but like to go watch.

I am a member of hahs.

And my first year at the horse fair was in 07' I went by myself, stayed all weekend, and still didnt see it all I LOVED IT. I was sooo looking forward to going this year
