Edna Leigh Libby is an extraordinary horsewoman who is building a beautiful horse farm/equestrian facility in Hollis, Maine. She's a great source of equine information and has opened her blog to questions from readers. She writes:

I will put a question deposit box in the side bar where I will collect questions on anything Equine. I promise to research each question for 3 days and include in the answer at least three references other than my personal experiences--which are limited after all. However, I do have at my disposal a vast library of information and many professionals with whom I have the necessary rapport to glean needed expert commentaries. They include Veterinarians, ferriers, trainers in several disciplines, breeders, back yard hobbyists, farmers, and competitors of all ages who have achieved success. Too bad there wasn't pay for this sort of thing, I'd be all set. But I did put a tip jar up for the barn fund--help me have to figure out how to create a gauge to show how close we are getting.
