Women’s Horse IndustryWHIA Newsletter August 31, 2010August has turned out to be a great month for the WHIA as far as getting new members. As you can tell from the new member listings we have been sending you, we are bringing in some really wonderful people in the horse industry. Please take a few minutes when we send out the new member listings to contact them and welcome them to our group. I know I harp on this but the WHIA is a business network and if you really want to get your money’s worth out of your membership, you have to do a little work. You have to pick up the phone and say “Hi” and see what you can do for them. And, of course, let them know what you need. I have found over the years that men really know how to network better than women. It’s in their DNA. They coach little league teams so they can make contacts, they go out to various outings so that they can make contacts, and they are not shy in picking up the phone and saying “Hi” to a total stranger. “Networking,” as someone once said, only works if you work at it. Networking builds a “family” around you that can help you in many, many ways. Read more> http://www.horsesinthesouth.com/article/article_detail.aspx?id=12040 WHIA Conference Update
 The Women's Horse Industry Association Conference will be held Sept. 22-23 in Louisville, KY at the Crowne Plaza Hotel. It is open to members and non-members. Women’s Horse Industry Conference Now Offering One Day Rate In an effort to help women in the horse industry who wish to attend the WHIA’s second conference but who cannot be there both days, the WHIA will now be offering one day rates. “There are a lot of women who want to attend this event but due to their participation at WEG, they are finding it hard to take two days away from their schedules. We are hoping these day rates will give them an opportunity to attend and make some contacts,” states Executive Director Catherine Masters. Information on the day rate is on the WHIA’s website in the conference area.

The Black Stallion Literacy Foundation to Participate at Women’s Horse Industry ConferenceThe Women’s Horse Industry Association is pleased to announce that The Black Stallion Literacy Foundation will participate at the 2nd Annual Conference in Louisville, Kentucky September 22-23, 2010. The Black Stallion Literacy Foundation program is available for children in the lower elementary grades and the upper elementary grades. Books are given to children to keep forever; in the lower elementary program, usually first grade, they are given Little Black a Pony and Little Black Goes to the Circus. After receiving their first book, the children are taken to a farm and learn how to care for a horse. They meet the characters in the book and then read to a horse! Upper elementary students, usually fourth and fifth graders, are given the hardback book, The Black Stallion. Schools, a copy of the movie, The Black Stallion, and a complete curriculum that teachers truly admire and utilize. As a reward for reading their book, these children are treated to an amazing equestrian show, the Black Stallion Show featuring performers from Arabian Nights, from Kissimmee, Florida. The show is the professional horse show that encourages children to read, brings the book to life and encourages children to read more of the books by Walter Farley.
