WIHS is pleased to announce that we have selected Equestrian Connect as the Official Online Entry service of WIHS 2010. Using Equestrian Connect will totally transform the entry completion at top shows on the East Coast including both WIHS 2010 and the WIHS Regional Horse Show 2010. as well as the Hampton Classic, Capital Challenge, Harrisburg, Syracuse, HITS-on-the-Hudson, HITS Culpeper, the Marshall & Sterling Finals and the Pfizer Million.

Equestrian Connect is a web service that provides a very easy way to fill out entry forms on-line and print them. You enter horse, owner, rider and trainer data into Equestrian Connect’s online system once and then automatically generate the actual horse show entry form with classes of any participating show. It literally takes under a minute to create a complete, legible entry form, saving countless hours of repetitive work for you. Trainers that create entries for their clients complete as many as 30 entries in 20 minutes. This can be done anywhere, anyplace, anytime from a PC, Mac and even an iPhone or iPad. More importantly, the service is FREE for the 2010 horse show season!

Launched December, 2009 in California, Equestrian Connect has provided services to more than 1500 West Coast exhibitors. Between January and the end of May, they generated 3,800 entry forms for approximately 30 California “A” shows. A key service point is the support staff at Equestrian Connect offers assistance to people putting in their initial entry data.

Looking ahead to 2011, Equestrian Connect will offer their service to WEF in Wellington and HITS Ocala for the East Coast winter circuits and then significantly expand their spring and summer horse show coverage in Zones 1, 2 and 3.

We urge you to test drive Equestrian Connect for your summer entries. We are confident you will be as pleased with the error-free entry forms that are generated as we will be in receiving them! For a demo and to register, go to www.equestrianconnect.com.

Sincerely,

Eric L. Straus, Chief Executive Officer
