Our fifteenth and final Equitation Index is out! After all these years of calculating the best junior equitation riders in the country, we're hanging up our hat, but not before we added our final #1 to our impressive and historic list of top equitation riders. Go take a look, it's up on MedalMaclay.com under our Equitation Results Archive or click here to go straight to the 2015 Equitation Index. So many great riders have been featured every year and we hope you've enjoyed following their progress every year from the Index straight through until the finals - which have been won by so many of our Index riders. Congratulations to the hundreds of riders who earned their spot on the list over the years - it's tough to do and a great accomplishment!

Happy Anniversary to us! Today marks our sixteenth year of bringing you quality hunter/jumper horses and ponies for sale. Did you know that only days after starting the website in February 1999 we posted our first ad - for a horse named "Gratis" submitted by a friend and now-successful hunter/jumper trainer in Massachusetts, Cory Hardy. Imagine that! And the ads kept coming, day after day, month after month, and year after year. Even when we were more focused on our bloggy-style content (old timers, you remember e-interviews, the Pony Zone, and Show Shots?) the horses and ponies for sale pages were always hopping with new ads.

Sixteen years in, we're still always thrilled when we see a new horse or pony listed on the website, whether it's a fancy junior/amateur hunter, a trooper short-stirrup pony, a seasoned equitation horse, a pony hunter champion, or a young prospect with an explosive jump. We love bringing this service to you, and thank you for making this website what it is - we've always had the best, most loyal customers and visitors. We hope you'll continue to make it the best place on the internet to list your quality show horses and ponies for many more years to come.

Cheers!

Today we launch the brand new design for Bigeq.com! We hope you'll like it! We've kept all the features you love, but freshened our look to make your buying and selling experiences that much more pleasant and simple.

It's always a change when we do a redesign, so here are some important notes about the new design which will help you adjust:

- Sellers, please note that we've moved to a "square" format for our thumbnails. Please login to your account and edit your ad(s). You will now be able to select how you want your thumbnails cropped. Right now there are quite a few headless horses and we'll begin cropping from our end, but if you have a moment and can fix your own photo, that would be great.

- Buyers, we've been listening to you, and many of you requested a "favorite" button to keep track of horses you're interested in inquiring on... and now it's there - making your shopping experience just a little easier and more organized.

- We do lots of beta testing and troubleshooting, but little bugs sometimes slip through - so if you see an issue with anything on the website, please contact us and let us know and we'll get it taken care of quickly.

After nearly sixteen years in the business, we're thrilled about this latest design and hope you'll continue to enjoy using our website to buy and sell your beautiful hunter/jumper and equitation horses and ponies.

Bigeq.com - First in Hunter/Jumper Sales Online!

Happy Holidays to everyone! We hope it's been a wonderful season for you and your families, and of course for your horses. We're looking forward to another great year in 2014 - our 15th year online! We hope you'll continue to make Bigeq.com the best and easiest tool for buying and selling hunter/jumper horses and ponies online. We appreciate your loyal support and business through the years, and look forward to many more.

In the meantime, for those who celebrate Christmas, we had some fun developing a little craft using old horse show ribbons this week- using the rosettes to make ornaments. If you're the crafty type, or just feel guilty throwing away those hard-earned ribbons, try repurposing them as ornaments! We has a blast making them and it's very easy - just thought we'd share. :)

Horse Show Ribbon Ornaments directions.

Enjoy!
