EquinePro Newsletter


EquinePro Newsletter: Innovative Marketing Technology Targets Equine Industry 



EquineProNEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Feb. 15 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Professional horse trainer and creator Donna Cheek, announced today the launching of EquinePro™ a marketing system designed specifically for the equine industry. The fully automated online newsletter service allows horse industry professionals to take advantage of the proven strategy of relationship and viral marketing with a "hands off" approach.

Ms. Cheek, an equine trainer with 39 years of experience in the horse business, developed EquinePro™ to provide an affordable and convenient way for trainers, barn owners and breeders to market their services to the public.

"The equine industry is commonly known to be very labor intensive, with no time to sit at a desk," Cheek explained. "We have no cutting edge options for marketing. I wanted to create something easy and effective that I would use for my own horse business. In this economic climate there is a critical need for all of us in the horse business to adopt some sort of marketing strategy."

EquinePro provides entertaining and educational content that is appropriate for all disciplines, then twice each month, distributes the newsletter on behalf of the equine professional to their clients and prospective clients. One of the many benefits of this newsletter is that it functions as an electronic business card, keeping products and services at the forefront of the minds of their targeted market. The newsletter will position an equine professional as the local expert while stimulating new referrals and business leads.

According to the American Horse Council, there are approximately 9.2 million horses in the U.S. used for racing, showing, breeding, recreation and sport.

Equine Trainers Newsletter is an online company with offices at 5000 Birch Street, West Tower, Suite 3000, Newport Beach, California 92660.

CALNET Show May 15 & 16 at L.A. Equestrian Center

By Bryan McQueeney    bryan@rideon.org  



Each year a phenomenal team of individuals comes together to put on a
world-class competiton for over 100 riders with disabilities. 

We're gearing up for another great show at the LA Equestrian Center. Our
dates this year are Saturday and Sunday, May 15 and 16. As usual we will
have a day of clinics on the Friday before. We also will have our
traditional free Pancake breakfast on Sunday morning hosted by the San
Fernando Rangers. We anticipate this will be another inspiring year of
great riding and fellowship. 

For 23 years we've put on a show without peer in the country but that
doesn't mean we aren't looking for new ideas and new bodies to help put
it on. Traditionally on the Friday before the show we hold a day-long
series of clinics on both riding and administrative topics. What do you
want to hear about? Learn about? We have a limited number of openings so
if you would like to present, let me know. If you know some folks
willing to help with logistics or in the office, please give me a call
or drop a line. The CALNET Show is an all-volunteer effort. We need your
help to make it all work!

Classes are free (at least if you show up your $5 fee is refunded to
your program) and stalls are only $25 for the entire show...at a
world-class venue! Rooms are available at the Glendale Days Inn for only
$75 for up to 4 people. The show is a great way to energize your riders
and your instructors. Our riders truly look forward to this all year
long.

The show registration package should be online by mid-February at
www.calnetshow.org. We will have classes in dressage, equitation, and
trail. The tests for Futures, Polebending and Showmanship will all be
included. If you know of individuals or centers who will be interested
in helping or participating, please pass the information along so we can
start talking.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me.
