I'm convinced successful bloggers are born that way. They must possess some inherent talent for clarity, spontaneous text eruption, instantaneous cohesion, a dexterity akin to Hendrix, and little care for how they come across on the world wide web.

 

I, on the other hand, have skills you think would lead to successful blogging: I write well enough, am fortunate to type with few mistakes, have plenty of opinions and knowledge to share. Yet, I still struggle to update our blog with the same rapid-fire regularity I see elsewhere. Not that I check many blogs . . . and therein may lie the problem. I find I have time for one blog (FHOTD, and that's sporadic) and one BB (COTH). If I spend time elsewhere on the web I start to feel guilty for not writing in my own blog. Then when I blog, I think of at least 5 other things that need to get done. It's a vicious cycle.

 

Topics are another chore. There's a certain discretion I must maintain, lest I anger the wrong person, I might want to sell them a horse later. Therefore topics must be ambiguous and innocuous by nature. I am neither ambiguous nor innocuous. You see the dilemma.

 

But a topic I now have, and when this newsletter is done (one of those 5 things that occurred to me as needing attention when I considered blogging) I just might venture over to www.typepad.com and update our blog. I've decided to keep you in suspense and not reveal the subject matter, but here's a hint: A certain event is sure lucky to be held in the Yucky . . .

 

Now that I've spoken the intent I must go follow through. Many, many thanks to those that have recently commented on our blog and on Twitter about our ambitions regarding Young Equitation Horses & Riders!

 

Enjoy those warm, sunny horse shows,
