FROM HEADQUARTERS
It’s hard to believe that we only started our association 8 months ago. We now have over 650 members in the US, Canada, England, Germany, Australia, Mexico and South Africa! As the association has grown so have the benefits we offer our members. We think they are valuable and can help you market and promote your horse industry business.

- 2010 Annual Conference.
Last year was our first annual conference and I cannot tell you how successful it was. In fact, it was so successful that people are already signing up and paying ahead of time for exhibit space and registrations. We expect our exhibit space to be sold out again early. We have put together some great rates at the hotels so if you are planning on attending our conference (and the WEG) you should book your room ASAP. We also offer “room sharing” so if you want to share the cost of your room with another person attending the conference, just let us know and we’ll hook you up!
We are adding new services often and we hope that you will make it a point to read our newsletters and check out our website often. We change the website almost daily so if you don’t check it, you might miss something!
Thanks to everyone who is sending in MARKETING TIPS. They will really help you become more successful so please take a look at them. New tips are added as they come in so check back often.
