[RC] Online portal for horse people - anyone interested - jessicatHello fellow ridecampers: My cousin has started a portal that has the potential to link horse & riders on many levels throughout the world. He needs people on the ground here to help with networking, community building, ideas, etc. Read on if you are interested. Thanks, Jessica Tuteur The portal idea is here http://www.fruehstueckstreff.net I think this could really be a small revolution in Equestrian Publishing. I'd love to hear from any of your friends who (w)ride and want to become the market leader in international Horse & Rider publications. We can translate the portal into any other language within a couple of days. It would be lovely to have people join this forum from all the different countries which breed horses. Exchange ideas, meet eachother online, offer hospitality when riders attend foreign shows, have regular Horse & Rider Fruehstueckstreff meetings in major metropolitan areas, the works ... Our software even has an ebay-type personal add section, where people can sell their old horse trailers and new saddle blankets. We charge no commision on sales, we are much cheaper than ebay. And, because we charge no commision, we never need to keep our vendors anonymously hidden in the Abyss of the web. You see their faces, read their name, and can judge by the company they keep, if these vendors are trustworthy or not. Some of the people I'm meeting on Frühstückstreff now are actually quite well know. I've just discovered the World Champion, European Champion, and several times German Champion of Hand-Bike riding. That's an international sport for people in wheelchairs. By the way: fruehstueckstreff is not a single-event. I know, that may come as a surprise, but approximately 20 percent of our members are in relationships, not single. Fruehstueckstreff is a network of friends, which now evolves into a kind of social club for women, men, couples, and families. We plan to have dedicated events for families, and for single parents who want to bring their kids along. Just think what a powerful network a portal like fruehstueckstreff.net can be if we called it something horse related and invited all your friends and their horses to join it. Portal technology like the one we now have costs well over 250.000 USD to develop, and few of your riding friends will want to invest that kind of cash to build one. That's a major technological advantage we have, and we hand the baton to anyone who wants to work with us. We lend our technology to people who are interested in building a business for themselves, and we offer it at the unbeatable price of zero investment. To cover operating cost, we ask 50 percent of the revenue in the first year, and we decrease that share to 20 percent as the project becomes bigger and financially more successful. So, if you know of anyone who loves horses, riding, and country, and if that person has community building and community management skills, do let them know about what we're doing here. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
