So I do realize your arm is broken. In light of that, congrats on getting the newsletter out and on time. :D

It looks good.
My recommendations... an extra return between headings always makes reading a little easier. You have it between competitions, but between the rising star, news and highlights sections, they still tend to run together, regardless of the the bold type. It's not a big deal though
You have a couple duplicate horses there, don't know if you realized. When you have duplicates, or choose to do duplicates, you can combine those areas, so it's less - pull a horse and put in the space - and more feels like thought was put into it. It also makes reading a little more fluid.
For instance, your driven dressage news and rising star is the same horse.

And your obstacle and marathon rising stars is also the same mare.

There is another one at least.

Anyways, it came out quite nice! Congratulations! and thank you for doing our driving newsletter. :D

Thanks for the advise, I will fix the space between the headings and yes I do realize that I have some horses mentioned twice. Not many people compete their horses in driving and the only horses that I could put in the rising star's section were either the ones I mentioned before or horse's that did not have good results. Again thanks for the advise! :D

:lol: I'm laughing because I've come across that problem myself, when searching for quality competing stock for breeding purposes. It seems not much has changed in certain areas. Well, that is one of the reasons why the newsletter was opened, to help build the other competitions in the game. Thank you for being diligent about the entries.

I'll have to see if I can produce one to help highlight the coming months' newsletters. Give you some more diversity. :mrgreen:

I like the crazy money and high pot competitions. Had I had one that might've done something at all in it, I might have joined myself. My comp line is SO NOT log pullers (not touching that they're not dutch either)! :lol: They have proven that through the generations.
All that said, breed specific, high-pot and open, high-pot... I would like to see them added. Some already are.

Which reminds me... I have to touch into the in-hand newsletter...

I have the In-Hand contest and competition up now.

It's a late entry for the newsletter though. But it's posted and currently open.
