About The Equine Observer

The Equine Observer is an independent publication covering horse care, recovery and the equipment owners actually use. We write for people who muck out, tack up and notice when something looks off — not for the show ring, and not for the catalogue.

What we publish

Buying guides, first-person accounts of living with a product, and plain explanations of the routines that make a difference in a working barn. When we compare things, we say what we compared and why one option suited us better.

What we are not

We are not veterinarians and we do not run a testing laboratory. Nothing here is veterinary or medical advice, and nothing we write should be used to make decisions about an animal's health. Always speak to a qualified veterinarian about your horse.

How we make money
