501

Waaay back when I started blogging in April 2008 I didn't know that it would come to this.  In fact I wasn't sure how long I'd be around... seems that a lot of bloggers burn out and call it quits. 
But here I am, my previous post was my 500th post!!
Along the way I've met some really great people, and while I may not meet them in person I do still consider them friends.
Besides friendship I've also found support, advice and entertainment.  

To celebrate this landmark I'm holding a giveaway. To enter answer the following in the comments:
1- What is your horse(s) name?
2- What is your favourite colour?
3- What are your hobbies?
4- Is your style bling bling or low-key?

As a bonus, when you comment if you're a follower of my blog you'll get TWO entries :)

Thanks for riding the trails of blogland with me.

Entries close this coming Sunday at midnight... winner will be announced next week.

  4. My horses' name was Cricket, he has since crossed the rainbow bridge and was my very best friend. My favorite colors are in the light pinks and purples, with a touch of blue mixed in. Right now my hobby is Fred, I also enjoy cooking. No bling for me, very low key, I currently wear a prety gold band on my index finger that was my Grandmas wedding ring, it has very fine intricate little etchings on it. That's it. Congrats on the 500th, (my 33 pales in comparison). I'm glad I have found your blog and even happier that you've kept at it! Here's to many, many more! Cheers! (clink)

  15. Congrats!

    1. Casey and Molly
    2. Pink! No, Cranberry! No, Blue! Um, pretty much anything goes. And yes, I dress my GELDING in pink. There aren't a whole lot of options that look great and not ho-hum on a black horse.
    3. Riding, reading, my dogs, farming, tormenting my kids, riding, reading... Did I mention riding and reading?
    4. Both! I'd like more bling, but I tend to be more low-key and conservative. Or I have been in the past and am moving toward bling. Make sense?

  16. What a fun way to celebrate a milestone/anniversary :)

    My horse's name is: Sunny
    My favorite color is: green (good thing, too - this summer's mighty green! LOL
    My hobbies are: horses, reading, knitting
    My bling style is: ...um.... semi-blingy??? For me, I like a bit of tasteful glitz and sparkle, I guess - I sure don't mind other folks sporting a lot of it, but past a certain point I always feel a bit self-conscious!
