FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) January 23, 2004 -- Vineland, NJ (January 5, 2004) -- Global Horse Network, the brainchild of Robin R. Ruberti launches this on the Internet, offering horse-lovers and entrepreneurs a new way to communicate. The main site, www.globalhorsenetwork.com, provides national equestrian content and resources, while individual state sites such as www.newjerseyhorse.com offer local information for the equestrian community. Global Horse Network is the first site on the Internet to offer both global and regional equestrian content.

The organization�s goal is to launch 50 state sites, with the first round kicking off in January. These sites include: newjerseyhorse.com, pennsylvaniahorse.com, connecticuthorse.com, kentuckyhorseonline.com, marylandhorse.com, massachusettshorse.com, newyorkhorseonline.com, northcarolinahorse.com, ohiohorse.com, virginiahorseonline.com, delawarehorseonline.com and westvirginiahorse.com. �Our state sites have the same look, feel and navigation,� said Ruberti. �We�ve designed the site so the navigation is as easy as possible for visitors to find the information they are looking for, no matter what site and state they are searching.�

�The network of sites builds a unique online community for people with an interest in horses,� said Ruberti, CEO and President of Global Horse Network. The organization�s goal is to unite the global equine community, while providing regional forums for classified advertising, events and online communication including chat and bulletin boards. The state sites give users the ability to share information about favorite riding areas; plan outings; post competition results and give meeting dates and times for clubs. Additionally, there are classified advertising opportunities for buying and selling horses and equipment including tack, trailers and clothing.



�People can visit the site, browse the bulletin boards, get information and chat for free,� said Ruberti. �Visitors are invited to post their first text classified advertisement at no charge.� Future classified advertisements are priced at $5 a month, with photo ads costing $10 a month.

There are sponsorship opportunities and banner advertisements available for businesses looking to target the equestrian community. �We are presently negotiating with corporations, including large feed companies and automotive manufactures, who want major positioning on the site,� said Ruberti. According to Ruberti, there is prime advertising real estate available on the site, but it is moving fast. The sites� banner adverting is self-administrating, giving advertisers the power to change images and text at their leisure.
