These are not my web sites. ;-) http://www.rendaivu.com This one is a FREE horse tracking web site. After you join, you enter your horse(s), you can include pedigree, photos, purchase date, purchase price, tattoo, microchip, vet, farrier, etc. Then, you can start entering records for training, health care, farrier visits, reproduction, and performance records (shows). You can select next due dates for regular expenses (like vet or farrier) and email reminders will be sent, run different expense reports on each horse or all of them, and run income reports. You can also start your own "organization" for your boarding stable, breeding operation, rescue, pony club, etc. Other members can join, their horses can "join", you can send out newsletters, report dues/fees, schedule lessons or meetings, have a discussion forum, organize and send out invoices, forms/documents, list staff, list prices, etc. You approve each new member and only members can view all of the details of your organization. You can run the same income or expense reports for your organization. Plus, the site has open classifieds, a business directory, and a message forum. And it's all FREE! (well, they do have paid classifieds, but the regular listings are free) This is a very powerful online resource that all computer-savvy horse people should use. I use it to keep track of deworming and farrier visits. Here's my page: http://www.rendaivu.com/friend_profile.php?id=1143 (you do not need to make a profile) http://www.horsies.org This one is a new little forum that's just recently started up. So far, there's a nice group of diverse people here. You can post your horses/tack for sale for free on this forum as well. Stop in and say hello! http://bitsandbarter.proboards.com This is a forum for buying, selling, and trading horses, tack, and even non-horse related items. It's a great place to look for a bargain or post your items for sale. There are wanted sections too, so you can see if you have what someone else is looking for. Most people like to use Paypal on this site, which helps protect both buyer and seller. Paypal is free for "personal use" for both buyer and seller. If you sell a lot, or expensive items, you may have to upgrade to a business account, in which case there is a fee for transactions. You can avoid the fee though by requiring buyers to pay with an "e-check". Learn all about Paypal on their web site, http://www.paypal.com I have been using Paypal for nearly 10 years now and have been very happy with their service. Two good articles on riding young horses and the bone development of young horses. This is a MUST READ for all horse owners, but especially those who want to riding and train young horses. Both are written by well respected veterinarians. http://www.equinestudies.org/ranger_2008/ranger_piece_2008_pdf1.pdf http://www.robertmmiller.com/andthcaushol.html Good horse weight calculator: http://www.betterbalancefeeds.com/HorseWeight.htm Great Saddle Fitting guide: http://www.saddlingsolutions.com/Fitting.html Again, none of these are my sites. They're just a few I thought I'd pass on. Feel free to pass them along yourself! Barbara |
