Yes. K-12 on up. No pre-schools please. We can put on presentations for your well organized and chaperoned school event as well. In the past we have put on simple walk throughs to see and pet the horses all the way up to breeding lab presentations. The more lead time the better. Talk to Renee.
Can you come do a presentation at our school?
Probably. Talk to Renee.
Who does your videos?
For the most part we do them ourselves. From time to time we use other outside services that specialize in horse videography. All of our DVD production we handle in-house. For more information talk to Mike.
Can we interest you in participating in our television program?
If your going to charge me for it then no you can't. If not then talk to Mike or Renee.
Who does your magazine ads?
We do some of them and Jen Tricky does the great ones. If you've seen the ad in a national magazine then Jen did it for us. Contact her here.
Will you advertise with us?
Maybe. Mail Mike your information. I won't commit to anything over the phone. No I don't care how great and short term the deal is.
Who does your photography?
Anything on the farm these days we do ourselves. At shows we do some but mostly we use the show photographers. At the various training barns we generally opt in if Stuart Vesty is taking the pictures. When I take a picture of a horse I try to think how Stu would do it. Visit Stu here.
Can I come see/take pictures/do a sculpture of/sketch..... your horses/farm/etc...
Probably. Talk to Mike or Renee. If the net result is you want me to buy or commission something then don't waste our (mine and your) time.
Can we use your pictures on our web site?
No. Really, for the most part its not our permission to give. All of the photos here are copyrighted by the photographer that took the picture. If you want to contact each of them and purchase the picture then that is up to you.
Can we link the pictures from your site into ours?
While we appreciate links directly to our site we do not appreciate linking our images into your site. Its called bandwidth left and we frown upon it greatly. We will block your IP at our firewall if we catch you. If we don't catch you then we hope your conscience bothers you so you can't sleep at night.
Can we sell you our web, search engine placement service?
No.
Can we redesign your site for you? We think yours is pretty bad.
How nice of you to offer. Now go away.
Who hosts your site?
We host our own site. Yes, we have a dedicated T1 and our own servers, firewall and in-house development. We also host other sites and other peoples servers. Its basic service web, email, etc.. but its affordable. No I don't want to pay you to advertise it for me. If you are interested in our hosting your site or server contact Mike.
What is your site development software?
We use several. This site is created in RapidWeaver 3.2.1 on Macintosh computers. (if you don't use a Mac you should. Go buy one here.) If you have questions about it talk to Mike.
Will you give to our charity?
Probably not. We do quite a bit of charitable giving the way it is. If you MAIL Mike or Renee your information we will look at it and consider it. Not E-Mail, not Phone, not FAX. Yep, you need to spend the money on the stamp. No exceptions.
