I know I have said it before but I am so excited about how the Horse Lovers Blog carnival is turning out. I think this was just the thing the online horse community needed. There are so many great horse blogs that I have never visited before this carnival started. And to think we only started on January 31st of this year.
Remember that starting next month we will be having only 2 carnivals a month. We will also be changing the submissions to only one per blog author. I say …

Please link the buttons to http://blogcarnival.com/bc/cprof_951.html (this is the horse lovers carnival index page).
          
 

 

 
I think Valentines Day is the perfect day to have a horse lovers blog carnival with the “A Love for Horses” theme. Todays carnival is hosted by Hoofbeats so head on over and read all the great posts.

Our next carnival will be February 21st and will hosted by Mikael’s Mania - Arabian Horses with an “All Things Equine” theme.

My goal for this site was to have a place for like-minded horse people to come together and share experiences and advice. This can best be done with mulitple authors. I have always liked the idea of a mulit authored site/blog and think this is a great place and time to start. So if you are interested in becoming a Horse Approved blog author please visit this page.
