TheHorse.com Passes 3,000 Fans on Facebook

 

Lexington, Ky. –January 15, 2010— Social media is an important part of the way horse owners, trainers, managers, veterinarians, and others connect today. TheHorse.com Facebook page has broken the 3,000 friend barrier, illustrating our success in trying to be where our users want us and supplying them with the horse health, care, management, and welfare information they want and need!

 

TheHorse.com Facebook page isn’t just a “post-it-and-leave-it” spot; News Editor Erin Ryder and other staff members spend time sorting through items from TheHorse.com Web site and posting them to our Facebook page to make sure our Facebook friends are kept informed and up-to-date with important news, features, and discussions. They also respond to queries for information when appropriate.

 

“While other equine-related Web sites have a Facebook presence, TheHorse.com is using this as a means of reaching out to the equine community and helping horse owners stay up-to-date with news and information,” said Kimberly S. Brown, Publisher of The Horse brand. We believe in listening as well as disseminating information, and I think that is what makes us such an integral part of the horse community.

 

“Hitting this milestone confirms something we all know; that horse owners love their animals and connect with other like-minded people,” says Ryder, who also presents the weekly Ryder Report video show on TheHorse.com. “TheHorse.com’s Facebook site is a great place to do just that, with daily news updates, blog postings, videos, fact sheets, and polls inspiring feedback and discussion on a variety of topics.”

 

Please visit http://www.facebook.com/TheHorse and join the 3,000-plus others in the horse industry who follow news and information from TheHorse.com via Facebook. And give us feedback on how we are doing, and what else you would like “The Horse Herd” to do to help you stay better informed.
