2010 World Equestrian Games - Lexington , Kentucky
I am an IFWTWA member based in the Lexington , KY area . In 2010 we will host the World Equestrian Games at the Kentucky Horse Park . This is a world class event that will bring approximately 500,000 visitors to the event in a 10 day period . IT IS THE FIRST TIME THIS EVENT HAS BEEN HELD IN THE UNITED STATES . Most of the visitors will be very affluent international equestrian professionals and enthusiasts .
The website for this event is http://www.feigames2010.org/ .
This is an incredible event on its own and is also a wonderful opportunity to showcase various food, wine, bourbon ( of course ) and travel opportunities in the Kentucky and southern region .
I have an interest in writing about various aspects for this and would like advice from members on how to capitalize on this opportunity . This is the " Olympics for the equine world" and would and may never be held in the U.S. for decades .

I would start with airline inflight magazines that serve Louisville and Lexington, then national upscale lifestyle publications - we've listed many in Press Pass and you can check the archive if you don't have the issues handy. I'd also look at UK travel magazines for an article combining the equestrian hook and Kentucky lifestyle - we've listed some of those in Press pass, too, and they pay in pounds.
Good luck!

I wholeheartly agree with Marilyn. I'd also "google" equestrian magazines to see if their are some you could approach.
Have some good clips ready to go with your query.
Best,

What should this blog cover?
What topics do you want to see covered in this blog? I jump to get a post up with each blog topic (we've only had two so far), but so far, we've not had a huge response. In fact, just a few, but, much appreciated.
As members, and guests, what topics would you like to see us cover in this blog? Unless we have something of interest going for most of you, it doesn't make sense. All of your comments matter.
So, please reply to this question with your suggestions.

Maralyn and all, I would like to see the blog used for networking for members (and others) regarding markets, problems, ideas, requests for advice, etc.

I agree with John. A way to get answers to those sticky ethical questions, especially for newbies, like "what do I do with a free trip invitation if I know I probably can't sell an article about it later (some pubs. won't accept material from a writer that was hosted!).
