Last Thursday night, something big happened for TheHorse.com. We watched our Facebook fan count climb to 100,000!

Let’s put that amount into perspective. 

  • It’s just shy of the population of Kenosha, Wisc. (U.S. Census Bureau, July 2012). And since the number has grown since Friday, we’re now neck and neck with West Palm Beach, Fla.
  • In gallons, that’s the average amount of water an American residence uses in a year. (Yeesh.)
  • In pounds, that’s about 118 average-weight baby grand pianos (but keep in mind that I’m an editor, not a mathemetician).
  • In miles? That’s around the world more than four times.

You get the picture. It’s a lot of people, especially considering that we’re a publication with a relatively small team that’s focused solely on a very specialized topicÑhorse health.

I speak on behalf of that very team of editors, designers, marketing gurus, advertising reps, production, digital gurus, and technical folks when I say that I’m delighted and flattered that TheHorse.com’s content and information keeps our fans visiting and commenting. We’re grateful to the top-notch network of sources we turn to for accurate information, and we’re also thankful for our fearless freelancers. And we cannot forget the horses themselves, that inspire us to keep learning and getting useful information about horse health out there for people to read
