Augustus is "Everyhorse" at play. The dressage horse unbridled, a
hunter loose or the royal mount of a long ago Caesar, freed from the
rigors of the campaign. Available in three colorways, this gray august
equine dances on a field of rustic black, natural or light blue "denim"

Mustang Million: An event organized by the Mustang Heritage Foundation, the Mustang Million asks trainers from all over the USA to take an untouched wild horse from the BLM and turn it into a star in only 100 days
"The Mustang Heritage Foundation’s mission is to increase successful
adoptions of wild horses held in Bureau of Land Management (BLM) wild
horse holding facilities. More than 42,000 horses reside in BLM
short-term and long-term holding corrals and pastures and are in need of
adoption. The BLM removes horses from the range in order to sustain
natural resources (grass and water) necessary for the wild horses and
other wildlife to live on public land. The Mustang Heritage Foundation
works with horsemen and –women who have the knowledge, experience and
facilities to gentle and or train a wild horse. Every time a horse is
adopted and moved from BLM holding facilities, it saves taxpayers more
than $10,000 per animal.
But more importantly, it transforms the wild horse into a sensitive,
yet hardy, authentic equine partner. The horse is not the only one being
transformed by the experience. Horsemen and- women find that working
with a wild horse creates an unspoken bond while also improving their
horsemanship skills. We hope Mustang Million, and other MHF programs,
serve as a reminder to Americans of our equine heritage and thus
inspires you to adopt one of these living legends in an effort to
protect the wild herds, our ranges and resources for future generations.

It's been a wet start to September which brings us to the subject of mud. Mud is bad for horses it harbors bacteria and fungus which cause diseases such as thrush and mud fever, creates a breeding ground for pests (more diseases) and makes the footing unsafe which could result in sprains and strains.
Unsafe footing is bad for us humans too and apart from that mud just makes the everyday horse keeping chores plain miserable. Although realistically we're never going to be able to eliminate mud completely with careful management we can reduce the amount of mud we have to cope with.
Equus is a brilliant decorative piece that will animate any wall of an interior space.
The galloping horse seems to jump into the room from a different realm,
providing an ephemeral quality to the space. This piece certainly will
not go unnoticed.
Its wireframe structure makes it very light and therefore easy to hang.

"Here are the physiological
facts—they are indisputable: The horse is a trickle feeder. He’s a
grazing animal designed to chew all day long. His chewing produces
saliva, which neutralizes the acid that’s continually flowing in his
stomach. Your stomach produces acid only when you eat; your horse’s
stomach produces acid constantly, even when the stomach is empty (you
see where I am going with this—his stomach should never be empty!). He
also needs forage flowing through his digestive tract to exercise those
muscles; otherwise the muscles get flabby, which can bring on colic from
a weak intestinal tract that torques and intussuscepts. Furthermore,
the cecum (hindgut) contains the bacteria responsible for digesting
fiber from forage. But its exit and entrance are both at the top! In
order for digested material to be pushed to the top, the cecum must be
full. Otherwise colic can result from mater ial left at the bottom." from Dr. Juliet M. Getty's Sept. 2013 "Forage for Thought" newsletter
