It should be no secret to anyone reading this blog in the past week or so that I’m pretty head over heels with my new bridle. Still, I thought it merited its own review post so anyone who wanted more information about a slightly less common bridle. My original search for this bridle started at Dover, where I saw one for sale and thought it had a beautiful shape. I wanted a jumper looking bridle that was modern, but not…
I’m running out of ideas for our blogging series. So far we’ve covered getting started, layout and SEO. Today I’m taking a stab at the most important, but also the most personal part of blogging – your content. A blog’s content is what makes it unique, and I’m certainly never going to tell someone what they should or shouldn’t blog about. That is your decision as a writer and content creator. I mean… think about all the different blogs you…
Sometimes blogging is a chore. Last week I had 0 motivation to get content up. While I usually have several posts in a queue in case there’s nothing current to say, my well ran dry last week and I had no desire to build it back up. This week I actually do have some post ideas, but spending some r&r time with the husband is more important. So you get my handsome Simon. The post processing on these is pretty…
I’ll be the first to admit it – this is one of those rare times where I’m not feeling very prolific. We’ve had a lot of rain, and even a little of this… So there’s not been a ton going on in the horse front. I wasn’t able to ride at all on Saturday, and Sunday lessons were cancelled due to the crazy thunderstorm of death the night before. We did make it out to the barn for a little…
You know at least one person who’s said it. “I can’t even!” It seems like there is not a shortage of opportunities for people to use this phrase. Most of the time when I hear that I think, “I’m pretty sure you ‘can’ some!” Still, when I was perusing through my Pin Oak photos (aka pulling as many blog posts as possible from them), I noticed a few horses that really… can’t even. “I can’t even combination.” “I can’t even jog.”…
I’m trying to do this blogging series in the order that a new blogger would have to consider. Part I was about getting started and choosing a blogging platform. Part II was all about layout, but today’s Part III is unique in it’s something that both new bloggers should think about before they start and current bloggers can benefit from. SEO stands for search engine optimization, otherwise known as how high your blog ranks on Google. If you do not care about…
Last week, Diary of a Horse Obsessed Girl wrote an excellent blog post about the differences between local and rated horse shows. Since she has a lot more horse show experience than I do, I can go ahead and tell you that her post will be way more informative and accurate than this one. So go read that if you want to know the nitty gritty. This post however, is more about pictures and silliness. Since I haven’t actually shown rated,…
I have a co-worker who is much cooler than I am, and subsequently teaches me all kinds of slang the cool kids are saying these days. I find this hilarious, because the slang is so stupid. An example of this is “On Fleek” which means on point / ready to go / cool / I’m not sure I’m too old for this stuff. I think originally it had something to do with eyebrows, but since it’s stupid and hilarious to…
