I want to share a story that makes me glow with pride for Eventing Nation. If you recall, in my semi-delirious
Sunday morning reader from last weekend I linked to
eventer4life's blog. As an aside, I thought it might quite possibly be my last link ever considering I was about to go out on XC with a young horse who can jump a mile but often does so in three different directions at once, but I survived and here we are now. I linked to the blog because it was a young eventer writing about her first horse trials with her new horse and I thought it made for good reading, and Tuesday night
eventer4life responded on Sunday morning post with the following comment:
Wow!
Thank you for putting my blog on here!
I actually had 502 views the day this was posted, up from....4...the day before.
So WOW and thanks again!
You're more than welcome eventer4life; Eventing Nation had a couple of days with 4 readers way back when we started. And well done Eventing Nation--
we each are powerless as one person behind a computer, but united together as Eventing Nation we have a great deal of power to influence, and, in this case, make a young eventer's day. Go eventing.
I think I was visitor 4...what makes me proud of Eventing Nation, is the picture in the logo at the top, and now, underneath, top class advertising and commentary...when I took that picture at Rolex in 2008, on cross-country day, I was really feeling the "Eventing Nation" united sort of feeling, looking at this huge crowd watching a horse and rider doing what I - and they - loved. Awesome. At the time, Eventing Nation itself was a gleam in someone's eye, but the feeling, the picture, and the movement found their way to fruition a year later. Go eventing!
