Horse Welfare Projects and Essays
The following highlight my current work, which is essentially working on the horse slaughter issue while galloping horses at various racetracks in North America. I am currently at Woodbine, ON Canada.- Alex Brown Exercise Rider and Horse Welfare Advocate: Blood Horse's Talkin' Horses
- A Texas Sojourn: Texas Horse Talk, covers my winter in Texas (2007-8)
- Sensible debate over unwanted horses would help anti-slaughter lobby: My essay on why horse slaughter is unecessary and is simply a demand-based business.
- New York Times: The Rail I helped cover the 2008 Triple Crown via this blog. Very cool experience and exposure.
- Alex Brown Racing: Started with Barbaro, now following horse racing in general, my exploits (traveling from racetrack to racetrack) and pushing to end horse slaughter. We have active discussion boards.
- Alex Brown Racing: Unfolding Story: A wiki, designed to document horse welfare information from the above project.

Nice idea ;-) I like the way you are approaching this course.
Just a thought but, on a completely unrelated note, have you thought about adding that word verification thing blogger have introduced - should help stop those pesky messages above!
what word verification thingy (ok, I need to explore) ?
I hope you are up for being 'skyped in' to my class when we cover the html / css tutorial :)
Erm.. Me? I'd be awful ;-) and they'd never follow my accent *g*
Check this page for further information. You can also opt for pop up comments which seem to tie in better with designs
But I would do it with a little persuasion ;-) Like a little advice on what you think I could contribute? ;-)
we shall figure out your role in the class for sure!
