I got sent a link for it too. Remarkably similar to eventriders.com. There are no details of how much membership is, but it's free til the end of August.
I got the link too and yes free one months trials memebership, but it's not all up and running, no course photos etc......... Very very similar to Eventriders.com.........
It is the same isn't it, just browsing through and the Longleat report is written by Boss, the one used on ER!
First thing that comes to mind - pointless?
I agree, my membership ran out a month ago and I cant see the point in re-joining! They are so slow with the events this week page they update it like the Friday before and the event reports come on like a week later!!
Totally agree. It's my second year running as a member and I noticed the difference this year: Event reports are real slow coming on line and photos even slower.
My Event riders membership is about due for renewal and I won't bother certainly for the moment. They are not covering nearly as many events and updates have either been non existent or slow.
I can't see both sites lasting for long I suspect there is only room for one as it is a limited market and people wil pay for the best not both!
I was going to ask what had happened to ER.com.. as i thought it was crap at the mo.. i didn't ask as i know so many people on here were involved in it!!
Glad i know now.. and others agree with me!!
it's just been slow the past few months as they were doing the new website! They didnt bother, as such, too keep ER updated. The new one will be better.. i'll be doing a weekly diary, so thats a great reason too renew
Basically what has happened is the partnership of people who ran eventriders has now split up and both gone their separate ways. The person now running ER hadn't had much input before but decided they wanted more meaning the person who had been doing most of the work on ER has decided she no longer wants to be in the partnership. She has set up eventingworldwide.com and a lot of the columnsists/photographers/reporters know and like her so have decided to go with her....
Both will continue running, use your free months membership to see which you prefer! If you liked old style ER (ie earlier this season before the partnership dissolved) then EWW is looking be like that with other new things to go with them.
ER is continuing albeit with different reporters etc
Have a look and see what you think! OVer the next few weeks all should start looking really good over on EWW
