Titus was bought as an unbacked 3 year old stallion. He had just come off the stud farm in Clarens months earlier and had had minimal human contact. Despite this, very little phased him, he walked into a horsebox without blinking an eye, allowed grooming and was the most affectionate horse I have encountered in a long time.

STRAIGHT FROM THE HORSE’S MOUTH
Hello Neigh-Bours! Welcome to 2012! Here at Neigh-Bours headquarters, we plan on making 2012 a kick-ass year full of amazing giveaways, new innovations and exciting events!


There are over 5000 horse-lovers logging into Neigh-Bours on a daily basis.  The site is for anyone who has ever ridden a horse, touched a horse, looked at a horse or dreamt about a horse and our community if growing daily with an average of 15 people chatting at any time of the day in our online chat, so boredom at the office is no longer an excuse!

We hope that ALL those yards, studs, service providers and shops who STILL don't know who we are, make it their new year's resolution to CATCH UP with the herd and climb on board the Neigh-Bour's bandwagon!

HELPING HOOVES

We have over R4000.00 in our Helping Hooves kitty, and its growing rapidly. Please make your contribution if you have not done it yet? This inititiative is designed to help all our Neigh-Bours, so it is for a great cause!(Contributions are R10 a month or R120 a year! You can 'purchase' a donation in our online shop.)

STRAIGHT FROM THE HORSE’S MOUTH

Finally we have got some rain! But with the rain, comes the miggies. We hope that all our Neigh-Bours have vaccinated against AHS (we believe there is a shortage of vaccines, so don't wait much longer!) and we hope you're making use of our Tabard offers and keeping your horses covered during the danger times.

Can you believe that we've put another year behind us! 2011 seemed to speed by and we hope all our Neigh-Bours are looking forward to a well deserved break over the festive season. Whether you are staying home or travelling, please be safe. We are pleased to announce that we are rapidly approaching our 5000 member! We are giving away a Secretariat DVD to the lucky person who is number 5000, so tell your friends!
Wer'e also giving a personalised Nigh-Bours numnah to the person who attracts the most new members between now and Decemeber 31st!

ONLY 5 DAYS LEFT TO ENTER TO WIN A SADDLE SPONSORED BY FERREIRAS SADDLERY!

The draw for the saddle will be done at Meryl's Neigh-Bours Birthday Bash on the 4th of December at Dee's Saddlery!

If you are out of the province, you can email us photos of you or your horse (or both), sporting your Neigh-Bours gear. Remember you get one entry into the drawer per item that you own.

This is going to be a momentus occasion as not only are we celebrating Meryl's birthday, but it is the first time in 20 years that Dee is opening her shop on a Sunday, so we should all feel very priviledged that we're allowed to party up a storm on her day off!

Please remember that all order DO have a delivery time of approximately 21 days, so if you haven't ordered by now, we're afraid its too late, but please keep your eyes peeled for more fantastic competitions coming up in the new year!

We are thrilled to announce that Neigh-Bours is now officially sponsored by Ferreiras Saddlery. Ferreiras is one of our BIGGEST sponsors. We are really proud to be associated with such a fantastic establishment.

Click http://www.neigh-bours.co.za/page.php?162 to view this awesome prize available and find out how YOU can win it!

Christmas is around the corner! What better place to avoid the Christmas crowds in shopping malls than to buy your horsey friends their presents direct off the Neigh-Bours online shop! Neigh-Bours personalised mugs and key-rings make great stocking fillers!

Great news for competitive riders! Neigh-Bours golf shirts are now registered with the Gauteng Horse Society, and Neigh-Bours is now an official GHS sponsor, so you can wear your favourite shirt and numnah at shows!

IF YOU'D LIKE THE NEIGH-BOURS SHIRTS REGISTERED IN YOUR AREA, SUPPORT US!
IF THERE ARE 15 SHIRTS BOUGHT IN ANY ONE AREA WE WILL REGISTER THEM WITH THAT HS SO YOU MAY COMPETE IN THEM.

There are over 4000 horse-lovers logging into Neigh-Bours on a daily basis.  The site is for anyone who has ever ridden a horse, touched a horse, looked at a horse or dreamt about a horse and our community if growing daily with an average of 15 people chatting at any time of the day in our online chat, so boredom at the office is no longer an excuse! There are so many well known yards out there that seem a bit slow to climb on the wagon. If you're not advertising with Neigh-Bours - you're NOT advertising! What are you waiting for?

Have you seen the amazing equipment, gifts and clothing we have on offer in our online shop? If you have not checked it out, you're missing out! You can now kit yourself and your favourite horse out from head to hooves with classy, stylish and good quality clothing and equipment. Struggling to find that perfect gift for a horse-mad friend? Best you check out what we have to offer! We have something for every shape and size and best of all, it can all be personalised!
