HorseLoverZ.com, the largest online tack store with more skews than anyother on line tack store, announced today their major sponsorship of The American Competitive Horse Association, ACTHA.
“ACTHA has been looking for a relationship with a major catalogue company to complete the near infinite choices for their members who win and are gifted ACTHA Bucks! But to have HorseLoverZ.com in our stable of sponsors was a higher goal than we thought attainable” states ACTHA General Manager, Tom Scrima.
But that’s the way things have been going for ACTHA and their Cause…the unwanted horse. The growth of ACTHA in good and in horrible economic times has been simply astounding.
“Industry is recognizing ACTHA’s command of the portal to the trail rider. In addition I think it’s hitting them that ACTHA’s commitment to exclusivity for our major sponsors is indeed a powerful thing. ACTHA only takes one sponsor from any category. Once a major sponsor is allowed into our barn they are exclusively represented within ACTHA. ACTHA agrees to not take in another sponsor in their category. This means HorseLoverZ.com is the exclusive catalogue sponsor for ACTHA for as long as they wish.” States Wenifred Schnars Head of Merchandising for ACTHA.
With a potential membership into the millions and 5,000 rides per year…embracing all trail riders from every discipline and breed or no breed, this is indeed a wonderful doorway into the world of the trail rider.
Karen VanGetson, Co-Founder of ACTHA quickly adds “the fact HorseLoverZ.com gives our members the largest choice of colors, sizes and models of any catalogue out there sure made us snap up their generous offer! And they are so technologically superior to most that our state of the art web site ties directly into their server giving our membership a seamless and immediate shopping experience. Winners of ACTHA Bucks are anxious to spend!”
John Moncado, President of HORSELOVERZ.COM reports “In our early experience ACTHA’s membership has been quite robust and has purchased well in addition to their allotted awarded amounts. We have found thus far that the cost of capturing a new customer is lower than our norm. The fact that we are helping such a great cause and dynamic company is just whip cream on the cake.”
‘’Now ACTHA member’s ACTHA Bucks resemble real cash more than ever! With the thousands of products to choose from at HorseLoverZ.com along with the wonderful specialty items offered by dozens of other sponsors, ACTHA Bucks may become the Equine Currency of the future!” grins Scrima.

All funding can be directly attributable to ACTHA’s sanctioned rides held all across the USA. Many of ACTHA’s affiliate’s who manage these rides directly support a charity, while additional cash sums are made in the form of donations by ACTHA.
Our goal remains $1 million per year and our ride calendar for 2010 suggests we will be getting close to our goal.
We couldn’t come close to doing what we do for charity if it were not for our sponsors. Their generosity in providing wonderful prizes for all our competitors drives the cause.
Indeed ACTHA plans to sanction between 300-1,000 rides in 2010, over 100 are already booked!
“It’s simply a win/win/win for riders who have great fun, sponsors who want to showcase their wonderful products and the charities that are in such desperate need. With over 1 million trail riders in the USA the sky is the limit”
