Speaking of Horses TV Partners with WHIN

Leave a comment

The Women’s Horse Industry Network is pleased to announce a partnership with Speaking of Horses TV. Speaking of Horses TV CEO Wayne Williams has long been a supporter of the WHIN and WHIN’s CEO Catherine Masters has been a longtime supporter of Speaking of Horses.

They will both use their talents to develop and promote the equine industry on television. Williams is currently putting together a pilot using some of the exhibitors at the upcoming 3rd Annual Business Networking Expo being held in Nashville, Tennessee in October. The pilot is for a new program that is being pitched to HRTV. Williams already has one program on the network that will begin airing in the Fall.  Plans are to show the pilot at the event in Nashville. Williams will also be an exhibitor at the event in Nashville and the host of the WHINNY awards.

Williams and his production crew will tape all of the events at The 3rd Annual Business Networking Expo, including the 1st Annual WHINNY awards and produce a one hour special that will be broadcast on a delayed basis. The show will air on HRTV’s “Where in the Horse World Are We”. Broadcast dates will be posted on the WHIN’s website as soon as they are available.

“As a former TV producer, I know the value of getting the Women’s Horse Industry and its members on television. It’s the very best way to market their products and services and Wayne and I are working hard to make that happen. Wayne is a super capable broadcaster, someone who really cares about the equine industry and I am very pleased to partner with him and his company. It will be great to shine the light on so many wonderful people in the horse world,” states Masters.

August 15, 2011 – Nashville, TN – The Women’s Horse Industry Network has announced that well known singer songwriter, Templeton Thompson, has been awarded a WHINNY award. The WHINNY awards are given out to people in the country music industry with high visibility who help save horses and use their love of horses to promote the equine industry. Some of the winners include: Sheryl Crow, Willie Nelson, Amy Nelson, Raelyn Nelson, Bonnie Gardner, Lacy J. Dalton and Mike and Martha Borchetta.

In addition to her love of music, Thompson has an intense passion for horses. Not only does she own and ride horses as often as she can, her love of horses shows up in the songs she sings & writes. Templeton’s mare Jane is a Breyer model & she and Templeton have performed at many horse events together across the country. “My horses are my inspiration, my healers & my teachers,” Templeton says.

Thompson may not be a household name to many but in the music industry she’s well known and well respected. She has written hits for many of country music’s top artists such as Reba McEntire, Jo Dee Messina, Sherrie’ Austin & Little Texas and her song “Settle Down Cinderella” is featured in the 20th Century Fox motion picture, Dr. Doolittle 3. She has released several albums on her own label & is now working on a new CD called “Icy Blue Heart.”

“We are really thrilled to give this WHINNY to Templeton. She’s got a very loyal following and her music about her love for horses reaches a worldwide audience. And, that definitely helps the equine industry overall,” states WHIN’s Executive Director, Catherine Masters.

Florida Horse in National Celebrity Magazine

Leave a comment

She may not be Angelina Jolie or Jennifer Aniston, but Florida miniature therapy horse Magic is currently in national celeb magazine In Touch Weekly (at most department store and grocery store check outs around the country). Take a peek while you are waiting in line!

Magic’s little friend Peanut is giving her a run for her money when it comes to international news.  She was just featured in UK’s The Daily Mail and The Telegraph and also managed to be in the news in China and Iraq last week. Peanut’s real job as a therapy horse was highlighted when she helped cheer children with life threatening illnesses as Ronald McDonald’s look-a-like sidekick.  She arrived with Ronald in his “one horsepower” car at a special Ronald McDonald House Charities event.  She also teamed with 12 year veteran NFL football player Mike Peterson (UF Hall of Famer, currently with the Atlanta Falcons) for a children’s charity program.  Peanut was dressed as a UF cheerleader and her therapy horse friends were football players and a referee.

Next stop for Peanut: a project with Disney to help terminally ill children.
