July 2010 News

Filed under: NewsletterAdministrator @ 11:39PM


After a relatively mild May, the June frosts hit with a vengeance and the Neigh-Bours team found themselves dealing with frozen arenas and water buckets. NOT a fan of early mornings, our horses thought we were nuts dragging them out of the stables in minus degrees for riding lessons! Poor things. Let's hope we're on the other side of winter now and things will only heat up from here!

We celebrated our 1st birthday in June. Very exciting stuff and we're thrilled with the support we are receiving. We hope all our users are enjoying the site. Please remember to give us your feedback so we can continue to make Neigh-Bours the best for you! We now have 3543 Facebook Fans (why are they not signed up on the site hhmm? Think all our regulars need to have a chat to them!) and 1867 site members! We even opened our online shop! Neigh-Bours is now spreading the 'neigh' and we have beautiful mugs and t-shirts with our logo on it, so you can be a proud Neigh-Bour!

We grew up really quickly, we did!

As we grow, we get more sponsors and supporters too - please make sure that every time you visit the site, you click one of their banner ads and go and visit their site to see what they do... they're the people who make sure we can bring you the site free!

July also marks the foaling of a some special Neigh-Bours offspring. Neigh-Brats (designed for young riders and children) has been launched at the beginning of the July. Neigh-Brats has all the favourites of the Stallion Site, but with a younger flavour Please get all youngsters you know to sign up and give us their feedback!

June 2010 News

Filed under: NewsletterAdministrator @ 05:34PM


And so the first 6 months of 2010 are gone and we are well and truly into winter! We hope all our Neigh-Bours and their equine companions kept warm through May! We certainly got a warm and fuzzy feeling watching the site grow by 150 members as well as 390 new Facebook Fans! (We’re not sure what the other 240 people are loving about the site if they’re not signing up on it!)
Be sure to spread the word about the fastest growing South African Equine Network as we’re the proof that online marketing really works!

As we grow, we get more sponsors and supporters too - please make sure that every time you visit the site, you click one of their banner ads and go and visit their site to see what they do... they're the people who make sure we can bring you the site free!
