Catskill Horse. Can We Be Free? Share Your Thoughts.

Catskill Horse has a simple goal - to bring all things equine and equestrian together to help develop equestrian lifestyle and businesses in the region. We really want to keep everything free - but without filing as a Non for Profit Organization, we are not eligible for grants. Well - if you know of any, please let us know.

The question of filing as a non-profit is a difficult one to answer. Without engaging some fairly expensive legal and accounting advice, it is not simple to do. And if we fund that there is no guarantee of grant applications being approved. Plus then we'll need to engage accountants for year end returns and all the rest.

So for now we are offering limited advertising for the banner and sidebars. Please email us for advertising rates if you are interested. Directory listed members will get a 10% discount off the package rates. This is designed to help fund the printing of the final directory.

We pledge that directory business listings will always be free. As businesses underwrite the directory with their advertising dollars, we hope you will support them. Otherwise, the funding will quite simply, dry up.

And in the meantime can you please invite your friends to send us their listings? We have nowhere near enough yet to merit the publishing in hard copy. We'd also love to hear more of your events, but you do need to email them to info@CatskillHorse.org. They will not be published from facebook or twitter because they must be submitted for accountability and accuracy.

Come sell your used tack, horse equipment and list horses for sale.  It's free and they run for 30 days.
We'll renew the posts if you ask us.

Today marked a landmark as our first 'official' press release went out.

And please don't forget - if you call someone on the directory or from the sale pages please tell them you saw them in Catskill Horse! Spread the word.

Have a great weekend everyone. Don't know about you but I have some serious schooling and farm work to get done.
