Sweepings
New look, new offers
Wow, here we are. Launched into 2009 with fetlocks flying. Horse
& Pony has a new look. Brighter paper, lots of color. Around
the office we have been calling it HP's year of color. But that's
only the beginning.
You will notice that the Draft Report has gone. But not the
contents or the reporter. Pam MacKenzie has taken on Horses In
Harness. She will now focus both her pen and her lens
on all sizes of horses and ponies once they are in the traces.
There is lots of focus this issue on little horses. The minis
are everywhere. Every province, every discipline. Well, almost
every discipline. Is there an equivalent to barrels, reining,
or dressage classes for minis? If there is, we'd like to see
it; and if there is, we'll see it this spring. There is so much
going on. Every weekend is full already. Get your calendar and
start marking.
And keeping you up to date is one of our resolves for this year.
One of the ways we can do that is with our new E-subscription.
With your paid up subscription, you can now add an E-sub to Horse
& Pony. We will be adding content to the E-version weekly,
so last minute changes or additions to events can be on your
calendar more quickly. That and more. We will be adding more
photos, more of just about everything. Get your subscription
now. Phone us toll-free, or go to our new website, AtlanticHorseandPony.com.
See our subscription form on page 35 for details.
You will see us at more events this year. But not at all of
them. It's just impossible to be everywhere in Atlantic Canada
where there is something horsey going on. We need you to be our
eyes and ears at every show, every horse trial, every conference,
every event, every discipline. Not much to ask. We know you're
there. Grab your camera, snap those pictures. Send them off to
us so we can get not just the word but also the pictures out
to the rest of the riders and drivers and wish-they-weres. Email
Angie at dvlproduction@eastlink.ca for details on how and what
format to send.
Another reason to get hold of us soon, you can use the toll-free
number or go to the website, is the great prize we will award
to some lucky subscriber next month. Green Diamond Equipment,
the John Deere dealers in the Maritimes, are working with us
to put a pressure washer in someone's barn or tack room in early
March. The winner will be drawn on March 7 at the Atlantic Farm
Mechanization Show in Moncton, N.B. Subscribe now to get your
name in there.
Hope we'll see you at one of the shows. Stop by and say hi when
you see our booth, or any of our advertisers'. Tell them Horse
& Pony sent you.
