How many MI equestrian BB's are there?

[titan]

I was just trying to figure out how many public places MI equestrians go to communicate on the web?
Obviously this is one: MEL - melmoderator.proboards.com/index.cgi
MI Horse Pages - www.horsepage.com/mi.html.
Midwest Horse Community - mihorsecommunity.proboards.com/index.cgi
MI Horsepage Too - www.michiganhorsepagetoo.com/
MI Horse Chat - michiganhorsechat.proboards.com/index.cgi
MTRA site - www.testrong.com/forum3/index.php
Back Country Horsemen, Pigeon River & Beyond - www.bchmi.org/apps/forums/

Where else do MI people go to get current local information and post local questions?

Edited to add to master list.

I visit Midwest Horse Community and this one (obviously).
There are also these that I know of:
www.michiganhorsepagetoo.com/
michiganhorsechat.proboards.com/index.cgi

The MTRA site (forum section) is a good one too!

Do you have the MTRA link?

Another not very active and fairly localized page is the Back Country Horsemen, Pigeon River & Beyond forum:

So, which one gets the most traffic - horse related of course!

I hope you didn't open a can of worms (see the manure pile).

But, by the numbers of the two more active boards (as of this post):

Midwest Horse Community has 655 members with 61,078 posts on 6,710 topics.

MI Horse Chat has 1,022 members with 23,959 posts on 3,132 topics.

There other sites don't seem to be as broad and active as the above two. So I would recommend just visiting yourself and seeing which suits you (or maybe both).

No worms please, just a question to see where folks are. I try to visit as many boards as possible, however it's hard to keep up and I'm sure I miss tons of good info. Being very active in the MI equestrian industry (Horse Shows by the Bay & Flintfields Horse Park) I wish I could follow them all but I just don't have the time.

Face Book seems to be growing

Can you post the groups you know of on Facebook? Horse Shows by the Bay has a fan page but we have not used it much yet.

Those numbers aren't a true representation of Michigan Horse Chat. The general board was inadvertently deleted and couldn't be restored skewing the number of posts/threads.

Forget about the popularity question, just the links please.

There is a regional section for MI/OH. Here's the link:
