HORSE NATION

Biz Stamm followed up last week’s winning story, “Fit to Ride: The Sitting Trot,” with a monster 661 page-view sequel,  “Fit to Ride: The Sitting Trot, Part II,” making her column the most-read of the past two weeks.

For your efforts and to show our appreciation, Biz, we’ll be sending you ANOTHER gift card from our fantastic sponsor SmartPak. I’m not even sure that’s legal! You’ve really struck a chord.

Runners up included “Midlife Crisis: The Adventures of a Thirtysomething First-Time Horse Owner” by Amanda Smith (425 page views), followed by “The Riding School: A Column About the People Who Teach Us How to Ride” by The Riding Instructor (403 page views).

Take a look back at these stellar stories if you missed them the first time around. Or, if you like horses and writing, throw your hat in the ring! Click here for contest rules and details.

Thank you writers and readers, and a big thank you to SmartPak for giving us this opportunity to reward our talented contributors, all of whom make Horse Nation possible!
