Regarding Horses is about one thing: loving horses. In that respect, I specifically write to encourage horsemanship and cover equestrian industry issues, news and events. I'm Jackie, the sole researcher, writer, designer, and troubleshooter. And I'm learning that I'm even horse crazier now in adulthood than I was as a pre-teen girl.
