It’s official. You’re preoccupied with your horse’s poop.

We expected our March cover story would be a popular one, but it’s always fun when people like/comment/read/share/make more amusing remarks about a story than we expect. Relative to the story, our team also released a fun related fact graphic and shared it on Pinterest and Facebook, etc. (If you’re a Pinterest user or a Facebook fan of TheHorse.com and are signed in, you should be able to follow these links). It’s already been shared more than 500 times. Who knew poop could be so popular?

I realize, of course, that, more than any odd obsession, this is likely an indicator that you simply hone in on the minute details and the specifics of your horse’s health statusÑhis manure being one indicator of it.

The popular poop article (and its awesome Chris Ware illustration that ties in with this blog post title!) is just one piece in a banner month of interesting reading material. It’s important to access and read the rest of the issue, cover to cover. I’m confident that these always-veterinarian-proofed stories will help you care for the specific needs of at least one horse in your barn (if not four), and information you’ll learn will benefit how you care for additional horses down the road. Topics in the March issue include heel pain, managing water drainage on horse properties, and fescue toxicosis, among others, and we also offer a breakdown of state-of-the-art information on equine infectious diseases presented by the world’s experts
