Our recent survey showcased that our readership is spread far and wide, from folks in New York City that regularly visit the region to their second homes, to vacationers from Florida and the Carolinas that visit the area or have lived here in the past and reach into the far mountains of Maine and across New England.
A lady wrote in and told us she loved reading the publication because,
" It (Catskill Horse) has a serious but friendly tone and there is a lot of education for all horse owners."
When asked if what other information they would like to see on the publication there were some stand out ideas and some special requests too.
" I come East and compete on the HITS circuit in the summer months. I would love to see more information on things to do and places to visit, stay, and places to dine in the region."
Good point. So advertisers, your business does not have to be horse related to benefit from the millions of dollars spent on equestrian pursuits in the region.
Another letter we received mentioned their hay and equipment needs.
" I know I can buy my hay much cheaper in Upstate New York than here in New Jersey. I also regularly search Craigslist to find sources for both used and new farm equipment for the same reason. It is simply cheaper, and there is more choice than just the back garden style tractors and snow equipment. I would love to see more coverage of ancillary businesses that I can resource for that."
So color me and the Catskill Horse staff delighted. Please don't hesitate to email us at info@CatskillHorse.org and ask about our special advertising promo package with rates starting as low as $40 for 3 months coverage and lots and lots of extra bonus help.
And while Catskill Horse may have been 'Born in the Catskills,' evidently it reaches far beyond.
Thank-you to all that took the time to answer the survey. It is very helpful in steering this volunteer resource in the right direction.
