Moving Forward

I am really not sure why this blog has been in my brain lately. I kinda wanted bigger/better things for it when I started it, and it fizzed a bit. I think it was just One More Project I Didn't Really Have Time For when I started it. The fun of the Internet is continual re-invention, right?

So, I do most of my model horse gossip on Facebook these days--I do not Blab, and I am done paying for it, so I no longer have access to what would interest me anyway. There are a TON of great blogs out there about model horses, many that don't update often, but they are amazing when they do, and some are pretty specialized, so they go deep in a subject that gets surface treatment, or just retreads on Blab or other groups. And I forget where exactly I read it, but a comment was made over the weekend about a person who isn't in the hobby any more, but is still sort of around, and how it was a pity she left because she really had insight on how shows worked.

And this made me think.

Would you guys be interested in reading interviews with other hobbyists, sort of how the Old Skool publications did it? I will warn you, I would tend to skew away from artists. I think that our artists are absolutely vital, but many have their own blogs, and often they are very celebrated, whereas the people who are a lot of the meat and bones of live showing are not. You may be able to look at a photo of a NAN Top Ten and know who did it in an instant, but I wonder if you could name your own Regional Rep (or really, what they do), or why your local show holder even puts on a qualifier. There are a ton of people who are silent and almost unknown, and yet, without them, we would not have shows. We'd probably still have horses. I am pretty sure I'd still collect horses and tack and props without the ability to show them (well, maybe not props) but I am also pretty sure I would miss showing--I really enjoy competition, as unfashionable as it may be to admit that.

So what do you think? Worth pursuing? Who do you want to know about?
