Endurance.Net Ridecamp Archives

 I have been advertising on endurance.net and not one of my buyers has come from there! I've gotten a few tire kickers from endurance net, but no serious buyers for young horses or bookings for my WitezII stallion. Advertising in endurance news was a waste of money for me too. I know I'm not as well known as other people in this sport, but you think it would have generated at least an email or two!

 

Most of my youngsters have gone to endurance homes and you all will start seeing some of them in competition in a year or two. But those have come through word of mouth or people who happen onto my website.

 

I guess it takes a while to get recognized and for people to believe you have good horses. And I know it's like the stock market, you have to be in it for the long haul, but some of us are running out of heart and money to keep the breeding thing going.  I'm not young any more and neither are my stallion or best mare. some of us have been trying to help the Arabian reg. numbers, but frankly it is way less expensive to go out and buy a horse than it is to breed and raise one.

There are others on this list who need to speak up, too. I used to advertise on Endurance net when I was breeding sales horses and then stopped when I stopped breeding. Perhaps it is time for all of us breeders to advertise with Steph and John again :-) Just to let folks know we are out there!
