Hello Everyone,

I've been busy converting all the sites with online sales to the new
shopping cart system. It's very slick, and easy to use. For those of
you who use AOL and were having problems with the old system, those
days are gone. Try popping into one of the big supplier sites and
taking a look at it. Even if you don't order anything, at least you'll
get an idea of where things are headed. It's never been easier to order
your hoofcare supplies online.

I'm pleased to announce that Associate Membership is now available for
The Resource Center. For full details you may want to visit:

http://www.horseshoes.com/associatemembership/associatemembership.htm

The cost is peanuts (16 cents a day), but as an Associate Member you
have some great opportunities, such as:

*** A $2,000 credit at a farrier school in the Farrier Schools section,
so you may start your farriery education, or

*** Receiving $2,000 worth of hoofcare supplies (including books and
videos!) from companies in The Marketplace, or

*** Receiving the cost of domestic air-fare, hotel accommodations and
$500 spending money, to attend the next AFA Convention, or the Guild of
Professional Farriers Convention, so you may attend the lectures,
seminars, and meet with the farriers, or

*** Receiving $1,500 worth of farrier care for your horses.

I hope you'll take advantage of the membership offer, as it will go a
long way to helping The Resource Center's continuing growth. (And
you'll never miss the 16 cents a day!)

If you happen to be in Ontario, California next month, and attend the
AFA Convention, I hope I have the opportunity to meet you.

Regards,
Baron
