E-News for the Iowa Horse Council

In 2007 the Iowa Horse Council (IHC) started a new communication and visitation initiative for the horse industry.  As part of this, IHC has created an e-mail list serve that periodically sends out e-mails to keep you up to date on legislative issues such as slaughter, animal ID, and other important issues facing the horse industry of the nation and more specifically, Iowa.  Iowa equine events and other topics are also forwarded through this list serve.

HOW TO SUBSCRIBE

If you are interested in joining this free service for the Iowa horse industry, send an e-mail to IHC_2U@hotmail.com and list SUBSCRIBE in the subject line.  List your name in the e-mail and we will add you to the list.

HOW TO UNSUBSCRIBE

Of course, at any time (and with each e-mail) you get the opportunity to un-subscribe with a disclaimer stating:  “If you wish to no longer receive this free service, please  e-mail IHC_2U@hotmail.com and write IHC UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject line.  Include your e-mail address and name in the body of the e-mail.”  This allows you to unsubscribe at any time.

ISSUES DISCUSSED

Please understand the Iowa Horse Council position on the slaughter issue is that we wish to preserve this as an option or choice for those who have un-wanted animals.  As a result, we do send things out through this list serve regarding the slaughter issue.  However, please know, this is not the only issue that is discussed on the list serve; there are many other things to learn from it.

HOW TO RECOMMEND OTHERS

If you have others who you think might be interested in this service…please feel free to forward to tell them about the invitation to join the list serve OR forward their information on to us via this e-mail address and we will send a personal invite to them directly.

QUESTIONS

If you have any questions, please e-mail your questions to IHC_2U@hotmail.com and title the subject line QUESTION and we will be sure to get back with you as soon as we can.  Thanks for your participation in the horse industry in Iowa
