AWARD...SURPRISE!!!

Out of the blue, I received this award for one of the Top 40 Horse Blogs. I notice that many of the people I read are there too! Many thanks for this recognition. (Others who were recognized that I read regularly: A Year With Horses, Laughing Orca Ranch, Cowgirl by Proxy, At the Farm and Life at Stars Rest).

The 2010 Top Horses Blog Awards are brought to you by Online Schools & Awarding the Web.

The award winners for this category were announced on July 18, 2010.

Nominations and Voting for next year's 2011 award have already begun.

This award highlights the very best blogs about horses on the internet as selected by the internet community and our judges, and is designed to thank the authors for their contribution toward the world wide web we all use & enjoy.

Awards candidates are selected using two methods:
- Audience nominations
- Our team of research associates scouring the web

After a list of candidates is compiled they are each scored by our panel of 5 judges. Each judge rates each blog across 20 different attributes providing it with a ‘subjective’ score. These ratings are combined into an aggregate, and the aggregates of the 5 judges are averaged to give the blog its final rating.

The ratings are then compared, and awards are given out to blogs in the 99% percentile (meaning the top 1% of blogs receive awards).
