I am looking for writers and bloggers to post regularly (the more the better!) on each of our blog sites and forum. Some of our sites include:

worldhorseforum.com dressage_horse_blog1.jpg
horseridinglessonsblog.com
horsecomedy.com
dressagenewsblog.com
eventingnewsblog.com
showjumpingnews.com
hunterandjumpersblog.com
floridahorseshowsblog.com
horsebreedsonlineblog.com
horsedatingsceneblog.com
horsesinthenews.com

We have many other sites that have guest writers and we need different writers and bloggers to be creative no matter what your interest is in horses….we want you! We have big plans and we need people who are passionate about horses and want to get in early.
I am looking for people who will write with personality, humor and provide interesting personal stories, advice, reporting on events both locally and internationally, photos and most importantly building a relationship and evoking responses from readers. Originality is of the upmost importance, no cutting and pasting other people’s work, it must be your own work.
If you are interested please email me at cheryle@bobblesolutions.com to discuss it further.

Katherine believes that Rainier is even better now than two years ago.  When asked about here future plans with him she said she didn’t have any.  “My goal with him is for him to keep having a good time, enjoying his life. He’s like my pet, the love of my life. I’ll take him to Gladstone, maybe to Devon – some fun stuff. But, it’s up to him.”

Isabell Werth of Germany took first place in the Grand Prix, riding Warum Nicht FRH, in front of a very large audience in Las Vegas of the 2007 World Cup Championships.

It would have been great to see her go up against Andreas Helgstrand riding Blue Hors Matine.  Blue Hors Matine was absolutely spectacular during the WEG Freestyle Championships in 2006 (even though they came second, they were certainly the crowds favorite) and was withdrawn due to a possible injury.

Isabell Werth a 6 time Olympic medalist received a standing ovation and were placed first by all 5 judges for their performance with an impressive score of 74.792
