Things you can actually use, not just read.
The guides are for reading once. This is for the stuff you come back to: working things out, checking before you haul, deciding whether today is the day.
Horse Trails
Horse riding and camping locations across the United States, filterable by state and county. The Flathead entries carry extra hand-checked detail on dogs, motors and trailer parking.
Every entry links to its land manager, and the map carries live statewide National Weather Service warnings after you choose a state.
Today at the barn
Live National Weather Service forecast for your town, turned into the decisions it changes: best riding window, heat load, overnight trough check, freeze and thaw footing, and any active warnings.
Towing calculator
Check a trailer against tow rating, payload, GCWR, hitch rating and trailer GVWR at once, and see which limit actually binds. Most people only check one of the five.
Includes hitching, lights and loading checklists that remember where you got to.
Trim cycle tracker
Last trim plus your cycle gives the next date, how many days away it is, and a calendar file with a reminder three days before.
Hay and winter feed calculator
How much hay you need to reach spring, in pounds, tons and bales, allowing for waste, and what it will cost. Worth doing in August.
What is next
Ideas still on the list: a wildfire evacuation planner tied to red flag warnings, a daily barn checklist, and a short set of questions that points you at the right service.
Suggestions welcome. If you keep horses here and there is a calculation you do on the back of an envelope every year, it probably belongs here.
