BTB: The Tuffrider winner is...

The Tuffrider winner is... Posted: 23 Mar 2011 11:56 AM PDT Jen of the Cob Jockey blog. Congrats Jen, I need your contact info (behindthebit @gmail.com)! This was sooo hard I read all of the comments at least three times. There were so many compelling stories  -- from divorce to weight loss/gain to illness to job loss to other stuff. In the end, I looked for some specific things in selecting a winning entry. TuffRider is doing a nice thing and I wanted to honor their goal of helping the show competitor gear up. The finalist commenters were the ones who... Talked about their plans for showing in the near future. Explained their need for new breeches (weight loss or gain, worn out old breeches, etc). Captured/described their plight in a creative way. Alexander Pope said, "True wit is nature to advantage dressed; what oft was thought but ne'er so well expressed." Clever writing sealed the deal. The semi-finalists were STBEventer, Now That's A Trot, Madman, Faye Jane, Victoria, and rq. I really want to give a thank you to everyone who submitted an entry -- you're all a credit to the sport!
