On the projects completed so far this year front, we hear that the NARG Top 25 booklet we produced in January has started many conversations and opened quite a few eyes. As an advocacy organization, the North American Riders Group analyzed and rated the top 25 horse shows in North America.
We happily launched a brand new website for Hap Hansen Stables. Loved doing logos for Makoto Farms and will soon finish one for Chance Arakelian. Ads abound for for Joie Gatlin, Crown Affair, the newly united Nighthorse Farm, Traci and Carleton Brooks’ Balmoral Farm, Freelance Show Jumping and of course, Blenheim EquiSports…
Staying busy but always up for some great equestrian action, we traveled to both Thermal (briefly, as Selena kept an eye on things) and Wellington this winter. Have to admit the next best thing to being there was watching the USEF Network for Wellington highlights and SJUTV for happenings at Thermal!
Do You Tweet, Facebook and Check your Email Before Breakfast?
So taking a moment to ponder what we’ve accomplished over the last decade and the possibilities of the next, I realize how much interacting has changed in recent years. When I started this venture, many of my equestrian contacts didn’t have email. The pace is fast and sometimes it feels we need to stop the clock in order to catch up. We are spending as many hours as we can spare soaking up the ‘conversation’ and making plans to take a bigger leap into the future.
Speaking of the conversation, social media is the true madness we are all living at the moment.

Isn’t it fascinating that Facebook has become the world’s word of mouth. We are connecting in ways that we never imagined. Blogging is bountiful. When I have the time, I enjoy Erin Gilmore’s well-written and witty On The Line Blog. And if you aren’t Kristin Medall Simpson Hardin’s Facebook friend you are missing out on some hilarious anecdotes. I am not a social media addict. I just don’t have the time. The day could come as I can definitely see the draw. However I do check my email on my phone before I get out of bed…
And welcome…

August is right around the corner, with another great round of horse shows to look forward to!
We are happy to announce a new website for Carleton Brooks. Although it is always interesting to learn more about our clients as we develop their campaigns, CB is especially dynamic. We look forward to adding to his site as he continues to tell us the stories. See this week’s Conversations With Equestrians for more.
Using Twitter, EquestriSol will now be able to bring results and updates from the West Coast’s most prestigious horse shows (and who knows where else) the minute that they are posted. Followers will also be able to see news updates, receive reports, know when hot sale prospects are on the market – all this from just about anywhere.
We are pleased to announce websites for Harley Brown and El Campeon Farms:
