SlidingStop.com is proud to host the first ever reining blog contest. Entering the contest is free and simple to do -- reining horse enthusiasts must join the My Sliding Stop section of SlidingStop.com and then create their own blog.

One first place winner will receive a gift certificate to SlidingStop.com's Gift Shop, the top featured placement in the blog section, and personalized help to maximize their blogging effort. Second and third place winners will also get a featured placement on the main blog page.

Anyone involved with reining -- trainers, breeders, stallion owners, professionals, non-pros -- are all encouraged to join the ultimate online community for reining horse enthusiasts.

"Currently, there are only two other blogs dedicated to reining. I thought a contest would be a great way to help promote the idea of reining blogs," said Scott Hanselman creator of SlidingStop.com. "Reiners have such a great wealth of experience and knowledge, which is perfect for blogging. Combine that with the comradery of reiners and you have a wonderful community."

Blogs or weblogs are a great and simple way to communicate with other reiners. A reining blog can be used to provide insight to your daily thoughts, current events, training methods and ideas, updates for existing clients, provide an online voice to potential clients, news items, the latest NRHA Futurity buzz, and more -- the possible topics are virtually endless.

To join and create a reining blog, visit SlidingStop.com, click on the My Sliding Stop link where you will find a Join button. After registering, you will need to be logged into the site to create your own blog, which only has a couple of steps including naming your blog and providing a title and description.

Full details of the blog contest can be found at http:// www.slidingstop.com/?n=Main.BlogContest including the contest rules and detailed help on how to create your own reining blog.

Winners will be announced on December 15, 2007.
