Taking Stock
I started this blog three years ago in January 2011. I was looking back over my blog posts to see what I'd written about and what folks had read. I try to make each post interesting but the ultimate goal is an outlet for writing about my beliefs and thoughts about horse training. I've sometimes stagnated and run out of things to write about, and many posts are few and far between. One of my goals is more consistency, but the horses are still living in Rifle, which is 350 miles away. Without them, my progress and inspiration has faded. I do go to see them, but it's never for long enough.
That said, here are some statistics:
Total pageviews - 4780
Most viewed posts, in order of highest to lowest:
1. Why Do Horses Eat Tree Bark?
2. On "Lightness" and the Master...Nuno Oliveira
3. Goodbye, BJ
4. Flood Irrigation
5. Michael Richardson on RFD
6. A Cowboy's Love for His Horse
7. What Does Cesar Milan Have to do With Horse Training?
I found this information interesting because the one post that people read was about a common problem with horses. Also, many folks read about flood irrigation, a subject which I found little information on anywhere. Michael Richardson, a disabled horse trainer I discovered on RFD was high on the list, but interestingly I haven't seen any more of his shows on there. He also never responded to an email I sent, so I wonder what became of him.
Much to my delight, the post on Nuno Oliveira comes up third when you search his name and "lightness". I guess not many people have written about him, which surprises me.
After three years of blogging I'm thankful that anyone reads it at all. I'm also thankful to have such an outlet for my opinions. Those that have responded have been very positive, which makes me feel good. There is so much negativity out there that one of my fears was that people would put down my blog, but so far they haven't.
So, if you are reading this - thank you! If you have something to add, or have a different thought, feel free to speak up. I like civilized discussion and dissent.
And of course a special thank you to my friend and most faithful supporter, Leigh Ann Wilder.
Happy Trails!
