We’re getting closer to the final four! Since we had an unusual number of teams compared to the NCAA style brackets, the voting this week gets a little wonky. There’s kind of a semi-semi final? Or maybe I just suck at making brackets, but anyway it’s just for fun so roll with it. Here are the standings so far: Today I will do six rounds of voting to get us closer to the final four. Things should start getting tougher…
Today’s the day where we finish up all these qualifiers! I’ll leave the voting up for about three days and then we’ll get to the semi-finals, woot!! The first match up today is also the final west coast qualifier. Pony and a Payday covers aspects of various disciplines from hunter/jumper to rodeo while The Polka Dot Periodical focuses on Pongo, a beautiful leopard appaloosa eventer/dressage horse.

Now that I’m back in town let’s get crankin’ with some March Madness! Since the real NCAA tournament kicks off this week, I wanted to speed things along a little bit. Therefore I’m putting six matches up today so we can get on to the semi-finals next week! I would like to make a little disclaimer about an exploit someone put to my attention. You can vote unlimited times on a mobile phone. Yes, aka you can cheat. I have put…
Y’all seem to really like this silly contest I created, which is awesome! We had a total of 42 blogs sign up to participate, and I’m starting things one day early so I can schedule some voting during my vacation at WEF this weekend. I will start this “Madness” off by admitting that I thought making a bracket was easy. Turns out it’s super easy if you have exactly as many blog entries as there are NCAA teams competing… if not,…
This is a particularly good topic for me, because unlike many of you my blog (though horsey related) is not named after my horse or the equestrian world in general. So for this week’s blog hop by Viva Carlos we have… What is the story behind your blogname/url? I moved to Texas in spring of 2010. Though I’m originally from North Carolina, we had lived for the previous almost two years in Massachusetts and the experience was not awesome. We…
If you’re a basketball fan, you’re already thinking about what teams you’ll choose for your NCAA tournament bracket… but what about if you’re a horse fan? We have no tournament. Sad panda! … until now! I thought it might be fun to do a “March Madness” for equestrian blogs. This is all in fun, and participation is completely voluntary. What is Eq Blogs March Madness? I will accept blog nominations from Friday, March 7th until Friday, March 14th. That’s an entire week…
When I started blogging, I had some expectations in mind. I figured I would have a good look back into progress with my horse, maybe hit some traffic goals with subscribers and learn more about writing and how to market myself. All of those things turned out to be true, but what I didn’t anticipate was making real friends through blogging. Though I say “strangers” in the title of this post, I don’t consider my blogging friends strangers… even though…
I tend to write about blogging a lot on this blog. Probably because I like it, I don’t think I’m awful at it and way deep down under marketing content Lauren… I love to educate. My degree is in English Education ya know! Lucky y’all 🙂 I think when you write a blog, it’s easy to get lost in it. It’s easy to feel superior because you have an audience of readers that respect you enough to read your blog….
