Elements like these further GoHorseShow.com's commitment to being "the future of equine advertising."

Did you ever think you would see the day where your print ad could feature streaming video? Well, that day has arrived.  GoHorseShow.com unveiled an exciting new feature in this month’s issue of GoMag!…video ads.

The first advertiser to take advantage of this great new offering is Holt Pope of Holt Advertising. Holt incorporated a 30 second video, which she produced, into her digital print ad giving her ad yet another way to stand out from the rest and send a strong message. "It's the easiest way for people to see what your business, your farm, your stallion, and you yourself are all about!" says Holt.

We are pleased to have Blair and Kristin Kern of Northwind Ranch on the cover of the March issue of GoMag. 2008 was a truly blessed year for the Kern girls and Northwind Ranch.
