Increasing the Equine Presence on Farms.com OntAg.

This message was posted by member Jen Armstrong.

 

I've been to a few horse forums, and as far as format and ease of use goes, I quite enjoy farms.com over the others.  However, there don't seem to be many horse participants as members.  I might strive to change that!  Any new equine members make sure you add me as a friend and we'll see how the list goes!

Hey Jen!

That sounds like a great idea!!

Im a horsey girl myself and would love to have OntAG build up an equestrian presence as well.

Glad to see there are others out there! All these years, horses have been our 'guilty pleasure'. Nice to see some discussion (and, I've even noticed a column or two in the farm papers lately!).
