Bromont: Eventing Nation turns our attention to Canada this weekend with the Bromont CCI3*, CCI2*, CCI1*, and training HT. The bromont CCI3* entry list has grown over the past week and now includes names (up from 24). I’m waiting for my passport to arrive in the mail today–that story is another post in and of itself–but, assuming it arrives, I plan to drive through the night Tuesday and provide complete, although perhaps deliriously exhausted, coverage of Bromont starting Wednesday.
Sponsors: When we took a poll a couple of weeks ago, 96% of nearly 400 of our readers said that adding sponsors was a good move for Eventing Nation. After that, I started looking into the issue more, and I have been shocked at how many companies want to support Eventing Nation. One prominent business owner told me that they knew Eventing Nation is a great advertising partner because they keep catching their employees looking at Eventing Nation instead of working!
Over the next couple of weeks we will be introducing our initial group of sponsors. Our advertisers will help us continue the general mayhem and ridiculousness of Eventing Nation, and now we will have a budget for stuff like contests, traveling, and EN swag. Eventing Nation hats are coming–I promise.
Guest Writers: I have sent out the Eventing Nation bat signal to our writers for posts during Tuesday and Wednesday while I am traveling to Bromont. Visionaire and Ally are already working on posts and rumor has it that Chelan will check in so brace yourselves. I’m hoping to find time for a Canada FAQ as well.
World Cup: The biggest sporting event in the World starts on Friday with the World Cup in South Africa. I’m not a huge soccer football fan, but I care about anything the USA has a chance of winning. Also, when something is so big that fans stampede outside of exhibition matches, I think it deserves mention on EN.
Go eventing.
