Equitrekking Wins a Daytime Emmy

We are so excited to announce that Equitrekking has won a Daytime Emmy!

Over the weekend in a star studded gala in Los Angeles, Equitrekking's small, but mighty three person crew, including me, Greg Barna (Equitrekking's Director of Photography) and Chip Ward (Equitrekking's Executive Producer) accepted a Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Single Camera Photography.

Equitrekking was also honored with a nomination for a Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Special Class Series. Alex Trebek, one of the hosts for the event, gathered with other celebrities including Susan Flannery, star of THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL, celebrity chef Ming Tsai, Nancy Cartwright of “The Simpsons,” child star Bindi Irwin, talk show host Wendy Williams, members the cast of Sesame Street and television industry veterans to present the Emmy awards.

We are so glad that our horsey travel series has been recognized for this outstanding achievement. View more photos from the event and become a fan of Equitrekking on Equitrekking's Facebook page. Also, watch a short video on my Twitter page @DarleyNewman or at Tweetreel.

Equitrekking's DVDs, hats, shirts, jewelry and more are available in our store at ShopDarley.com

Equitrekking Bloopers and Tweets

I've just added some fun Behind the Scenes and Bloopers videos to Equitrekking.com and EquitrekkingTV on YouTube.

In honor of our Director of Photography Greg Barna getting nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Single Camera Photography for Equitrekking, check out the Greg Barna video on YouTube. You'll see a bit more about how we film Equitrekking on horseback.

In Belize, we had an interesting experience finding medicinal remedies on horseback with local Albert Garbutt, so that's up on YouTube as well.

Finally, I had to add this clip from filming in the underground city in Guzelyurt, Turkey at Equitrekking.com and YouTube. When the lights went out and I was two stories underground, my heart definitely skipped a few beats.

Also, I've just started Tweeting. You may follow me on Twitter @DarleyNewman.
