NOVEMBER BLOGGING CHALLENGE

This was something new for 2009. After a major slow down in posting on the RAC Blog, I decided to spur the RAC'ers to flex those typing fingers by offering a challenge. The top 3 RAC'ers to post the most on the RAC Blog for the month of November wins a prize! Their choice of a monogrammed saddle pad, heavy weight hoodie w/ the RAC logo or a Star Ad on Curly Horse Country. The only rule is that the posts must pertain to gaining points for the contest. They couldn't just post random ideas, thoughts about their curlies.....yes, it was hard work! But boy, were they up for the challenge!

Congratulations!!

Betsy Lirakis - Top O The Hill Farm
Angie Gaines - Golden Curls Ranch
