Something New?
It's not often something new comes along that is worthy of writing about, but this caught my eye and attention at the United States Pony Club National Championships at Lexington KY. A company has launched a new line of products with a very nice twist. They have developed a way for equine groups to raise funds that is so easy it is almost brilliant.

We all love our horses and the lifestyle, but there just never seems to be enough donations around to help out all the needy groups in the equine community. Statistics say as a group we spend billions on our horses... yes that is billions. Yet so many needy groups never see any of that. From rescue groups to 4-H and Pony Club to name a few, they could all use a little extra help, and now this company is trying to make that happen and to give back to the equine community.

They have a nice line of horse supplements and products that are fairly priced, 100% guarantee, and believe it or not they do not charge any shipping or handling. I did see some unique products in their line-up. In particular was their joint formula that uses Cetyl-M with a combination of other active ingredients that included MCHC (a highly bioavailable fish bone that provides much greater nourishment than just calcium), Proline (an amino acid needed for the production of collagen and cartilage), colostrum (mothers first milk, rich with immune factors and amino acids), MSM, as well as Omega-3s, Ester-C, and other Vitamins and Minerals. Their whole line up can be viewed at (www.amicusequine.com).

Their fundraising program is simple, all an equine group needs to do is simply fill out a registration form (basic contact information) then they get login access to an administration section where a whole host of fundraising tools are available to them for free. From customizable posters, to flyers to emails and press releases everything has been designed and developed for them! The group is assigned a unique code, and then put in the search function on the website. Anytime a customer chooses the group they get 8% of every sale. The best news is that this program is absolutely free and has no costs associated with it, plus 100% of all donations made go directly to the group. This company really seems to understand the issues faced by equine groups that do not have the time or talent to roll out a fundraising program, and they have done the legwork for them.

We all tend to be loyal to products, but it is refreshing to see a company that has taken a position to give back to the equine community in this way and to make a difference. Whether you are an equine group that could use a fundraising program, or simply like the idea of a portion of your purchases being given to a good cause, I would suggest you visit their site. www.amicusequine.com or call 888-849-8655 for more information
