Advertising on MDhorse.com

Maryland is steeped in the history and tradition of the horse industry, with a multitude of events and competitions from all disciplines taking place here and in the surrounding mid-Atlantic region.

We can offer you a vast audience with interest in your products or services. We can reach more people in less time and expense than a printed publication.

The Maryland Equine Market

Based on the statistics compiled in the most recent studies performed by the American Horse Council and the University of Maryland Cooperative Extension Service, the Maryland horse industry has a significant economic impact:

  • The Maryland horse industry produces goods and services valued over $600 million per year, and the national industry has a $1.5 billion impact on the Maryland economy over the course of a year.
  • The number of horses in Maryland is approximately 82,000.
  • The number of horse enthusiasts is estimated at around 114,000.
  • The average maintenance cost per horse is around $3,000 at private stables and $3,250 at public stables, with an overall expenditure of approximately $235 million for the State of Maryland.
  • Over 60% of the horses owned in Maryland are involved in showing or recreation (despite the dominance of horse racing in the media and the general public’s view of this state’s role with horses).
  • Almost 50% of the public stables intend to expand their stables and services, and expect an increase in the demand for those services.
  • This is a firmly established market - most survey respondents had been involved with horses for, on average, 22 years, with an average beginning age of 16.

Advertising Rates

Business Ad – We will incorporate an advertising banner on the site for you that will link to your existing web page. If you already have a banner, we can upload that and link it to your site.

That fee will be reduced to $100 if you elect to have the banner running for six (6) months, and reduced to $50 if you choose to have the banner run for the whole year.

If you don’t have a web page, we can create one for you. It may either be a "business card" style, which provides the basic information regarding your company: name, address, telephone number, fax number, and email address. It may also include a one- or two-line description of the products or services you offer. This is a simple page that will not include any elaborate or extensive graphics or photos. You may also opt for a complete web page, which may either be part of our site or under your own web address. This page may include photos, more details on your business, as well as additional pages.
