Let's Make 2013 A Banner Year for Catskill Horse Folks

"The Merry Band of the Catskill Horse" team is looking forward to bringing all Catskill horsemen and horsewomen together but we need your input and help to do it.

Carly Diamond was runner up for Most Improved Rider at Fairbanks Stables Clinic Event, narrowly missing winning The Horse Studio Degas bridle. All riders received a sweatshirt or T-Shirt though, kindly donated by THS, so no-one was left out.

Whatever discipline(s) you love to ride and compete in we hope to see your names and faces on the Catskill Horse site this year. Over the past few months we've heard from and met in person, many of our directory business members. We've attended events in the area from shows, to clinics to tack swaps and have loved meeting you all.

Catskill Horse would also like to thank all of the folks that welcomed us and treated us like VIPs -

VIP Tent - End of a long day for both Catskill Horse publisher Paul & one of the VIP host volunteers - Karen.

Catskill Horse would like to thank the volunteer team for helping with the Directory including Anne Tanner Arent, Jeannette Moser, Cheryl Kelly and Kim Sanford,

Here are just some of the plans for the forthcoming year.

• The addition of an interactive horse for sale listing option, which we hope will benefit every horse looking for a new home.
• The addition of an interactive calender that registered members can use to promote their own events.
• Catskill Horse member sign up. Members will receive special 'extras'.
• New feature articles and wrap ups..
• Advertising opportunities for local businesses on banner and sidebar ads coming soon.
• Editorial features each month.
•  Advice column - look for our January column, " How to Host A Successful Clinic and Make $$".
• More photo contests and free giveaway prizes. 
• 10% discount to all Catskill Horse members from various local businesses with membership sign up.

Catskill Horse welcomes all ideas for other features in the directory.  This is a 100% volunteer effort, so please be patient when you contact us - we get to it all as soon as we can.
Email us your ideas to info@CatskillHorse.org and don't forget to send us news and photos of all your forthcoming events.
