Marketing The Equine Industry

  The noble steed... a perfect picture of spirit and beauty, a sweet combination of speed and strength! And surely one of the most loyal companions a cowboy or girl could ever have. We love our four-legged friends, and we are sure to give them the best care possible, and there is an endless supply of health, supplement and nutrition products, tack, riding gear, equipment and treats & gifts that we bestow upon them.

When I was a kid, I happily graduated from Breyer collectibles & figurines with my miniature barn, fences and trailers to the status of an equestrian as a result of the arrival of my dream pony - a paint named Champ from that famous island off the Virginia seacoast. Other then an abundance of love, good vet health care from a well schooled veterinarian, saddle, tack and grooming supplies, we didn't need much else to ride off into the sunset.

However, today there is an ever growing supply of products for sale, and savvy marketers are racing to create new sales opportunities by wisely betting on the loving and gentle care that every owner and rider saves for just their steed.

Like most folks that saddle up, race or show, I've always subscribed to several equestrian magazines, and have found health, riding, training, trailering and tack information through product ads and feature articles in these trade publications. Looking through the most current issues, I found pictures and descriptions of items that did not even exist when I received issue #1 of Equus back in the late 1970's. This is a robust trade, and every business in this arena can greatly prosper with the right guidance.



While we are owners and riders living in the Lone Star State with the highest national steed population and simply wild about these wonderful creatures, we are also professionals, and we will help you increase your revenue through effective ads and promotion.

Our first commericial job in this field was a themed billboard for a fund raiser to benefit a hospital - way back in 1974! That's over thirty years ago. We've been at this for a long time, and we offer our experience to you.

Whether you are a custom trailer manufacturer or a distributor of riding equipment, a retailer of gifts & jewelry or producing miniature figurines & statues, cowboy collectibles or carousels, involved in training or breeding and reproduction, running a farm or a dude ranch, we are able to proficiently and affordably promote your products to this growing economy.

If you manufacture tack or an integral part of the equine supply chain; are involved in care, health, nutrition and supplements; training or breeding and reproduction, a veterinarian or specializing in dentistry; providing rescue or massage and therapy... if you are a gifted leathermaker, painting cowboy pictures, selling western art or creating racing jewelry and miniature figurines or perhaps even art depicting Kentucky Derby champions - we will harness our affection for this noble creature and our technical knowledge to make your promotional efforts a blue ribbon winner!

We design and place ads in trade publications, handle any print needs such as design and production of fliers, brochures and catalogs, create eye-catching visuals for exhibitions & trade shows, write feature articles and press releases, handle public relations, concept unique merchandising and packaging, as well as provide consulting.

We would love to have the opportunity to serve you in this terrific field!

We stretch your dollar further than anyone else and save you money, all the while giving you the best quality you'll find anywhere!


We have worked for and with small, medium and large organizations - Fortune 500 companies - and a variety of manufacturers, as well as for veterinarians, dental technicians and farriers, and our work has included editorial writing, editing, book publishing, artwork, graphics & design, as well as medical illustration (putting that college degree in B.S. in biology to good use!).

We have ridden English, Western, Endurance and competed in fields trials. We have hacked and ridden with the hounds. We have bred, shown and shoveled. We have worked at steeplechasing events, shows and at the race track. We have enjoyed paper chases, showed and trailered. We've galloped over hill and dale and swam with our friends in rivers and the sea. We've fed and watered, brushed and curried, nursed and loved all the neighing souls whom we have had the honor to know.

We know our trade, and that is a winning ticket for you!
