Equine Consumers' Guide 2010

EQUINE CONSUMERS’ GUIDE 2010
Canada’s Horse Industry at Your Fingertips

Message from the Editor…
I am excited to present the first volume of the Equine Consumers’ Guide. Readers living in BC and Alberta are likely familiar with our Horse Community Guide, which celebrated its third volume last year. This year we have expanded our annual publication across Canada and the new name reflects that change. Although sporting a new name, the Guide is the same reliable source of practical information for horse people, brought to you by Horse Community Journals, Inc.

The goal of the Guide has always been to provide a comprehensive, year-round reference for all equestrians, regardless of discipline or breed, and this year is no different. Whether you are a newcomer to horses or a long-time competitor, a pleasure rider or a professional, a lover of huge drafts or tiny ponies, there is something for you.
