I have to say I am quite disappointed in NBC's lack of respect for the Equestrian portion of the Olympics. I have talked with so many horse lovers, equestrians, and Olympic fans who say they can't find the equestrian programming. They feel that some of the excitement and beauty of the games have been lost with the tunnel vision on sports like Beach Volleyball and Water sports. The fact that China's Archery team got more play time that our Equestrian Team has really turned off many Americans who were looking forward to seeing our majestic horses compete.

Welcome

I started a blog once before but can't find it so I am starting over. I have been away from writing for way to long. This blog is going to cover all aspects of our Equine World, from the upcoming Olympics to Horse Rescue and Equine Welfare. Each and everyone of us who loves and enjoys horses whether it ia ever day or on the weekends have a responsibility to make a marked difference for our National Herd.
So thanks for checking out my first entry. I can't wait to get going full steam!!
