The Equus Ink

I started this blog nearly four years ago to document the life and times of Ink, my newly acquired off track Thoroughbred.  Through these four years, I've gone through up's and down's.  To be very honest, I'm frustrated and really disappointed about the fact that most, except for one, situation I've been in related to horses, has not even been horse-related when it came down to it. 

Horses give us a light, as cliche' as that sounds.  They give us the ability to see and feel things that we might not have known to exist before.  To me, this and the pure enjoyment of just owning horses, is a driving force.  I'll do anything to be able to keep horses in my life.  They have done wonders for me and I hope to give my own, a happy, enjoyable life as they have given me. 

I have a lot to say but I'll address what seems to be the problem now.

This is my blog, my personal journal.  I have shared it with friends, family and fellow horse people.  I write from my perspective, from my own experiences.  My objective with this blog is to bring awareness to off track Thoroughbreds and to share my experiences of owning one.  I do not do it to talk about people, places or situations.  They are merely part of the journey, but not what dictates it nor what is discussed on here.  I share the good and the bad without a coat of sugar.  I'm honest and personal in my approach.  But, again, I do this for the horses, I do this because I love them.  My intentions are pure and come from a place of good.  

On an end note, when I write, I document.  If I move to a new barn or a friend helped me with Ink, I write about it only to document it, not to twist, create problems, issues or further-more full-fill the, non-exsistant, need to use others' lives to make my own feel better. 

To the readers that have followed along and are in it for the horses, you are the people that should be the image of the horse world, you are what makes the small corners of this industry worth finding. 

For now, the blog is down.  I'll be doing a seperate blog space for friends, family and fellow friend horse bloggers to read for the time-being.  I'll be contacting you individually.  If you want to make sure your on the list, please contact me through the blog on the "contacts" page.
