Lost twins? Photo created by Suzanne Konefal.
Sometimes the internet (or in this case, Facebook friends) give you something that’s just too good to be true. Last weekend, it was this photo created by the hilarious Suzanne Konefal, who is friends with Will Faudree so she’s allowed to poke fun. But seriously, Will, we appreciated your jog outfit for Fair Hill, but we can’t resist posting this side by side comparison with your long lost twin, Mr. Rogers. I’m dying.

Naming a horse sometime soon? I constantly have to come up with names for new horses that come into the organization where I work, and sometimes the name is just too fitting, and sometimes you can barely come up with anything that doesn’t sound absurd. Luckily, Horse Nation has published an infographic on some research that shows the most popular horse names in the UK for all types and sizes. [UK’s Most Popular Horse Names]
If you’re outfitting your barn, or even updating an old barn, don’t miss this puppy for your wash rack. The Swing Out Wash Rack Arm is basically the greatest thing for bathing horses since, well, soap. How many times have you had your horse step on the hose with one foot only to remove that and put another foot on the hose again? I spent too much time rolling up hoses, and trying to save my nozzles from stampeding feet. This handy wall mount saves you from all that trouble. [SmartPak Product of the Day]
