CHA Partners with .Horse to Offer Discounted Domains to CHA Members

The Certified Horsemanship Association announced a new partnership with .horse Domain Names, in addition to an exclusive discount for CHA members.

The Certified Horsemanship Association announced a new partnership with .horse Domain Names, in addition to an exclusive discount for CHA members. The .horse domain name is a new option that horse-related businesses and individuals can use to create a more descriptive entry point into their website and for their email addresses to perfectly describe what they do, whether the website owner is a riding instructor, breeder, equine facility owner, or other equine professional. Following a brand’s name immediately with .horse sends a clear, descriptive, and powerful message to website visitors while increasing brand visibility inside and outside of the horse industry.

CHA members can get a .horse domain for $10 for the first year, which is a savings of 66-75% from the regular price of $29.88-$39.99. In addition, the CHA member-only rate of $26.99 for the website builder for the first year is a discounted rate from the regular website builder rate of $254.44.

Users are encouraged to use the .horse domain name in any of the following ways:

1. Have your .horse web address redirect to your current web address

2. Replace an existing .com, .org, .net, .info, .biz, .us, or other top level domains with a .horse web address

3. Create a promotional web page and link it to your .horse web address for an easier and shorter web address than ever before

4. Create a personalized-to-you, easy-to-remember email address using your .horse web address

CHA CEO Christy Landwehr described a .horse domain name as an enhancement and not a replacement for those who already have an existing domain name. “So if they already have a .com that’s working for them, they can use the .horse as a redirect to take people to their .com site or they can use .horse for a totally separate site. And one day as their promotional materials go and they are ready for a brand refresh, they have the choice to replace their .com with a .horse. There are many ways for our members to utilize a .horse in whatever way suits them.”

Clinician and trainer Julie Goodnight, who is CHA’s International Spokesperson, says she sees .horse domains as the wave of the future for the horse industry. “We’re putting a lot of resources into growing our online presence and developing a lot of traffic,” says Goodnight. “I love the .horse URL because that tells who we are, and it identifies us from the rest of the Internet, so I think it’s a valuable, valuable thing.”

Tara Reimer, a CHA Master Level Certified Instructor who owns Cloud 9 Ranch in Steinbach, Manitoba, Canada, won the domain www.instructor.horse in the 2016 CHA Silent Auction at the International Conference was excited to bid on the domain because she immediately recognized the value that having a .horse domain could provide, especially as an extra entry point into her current website of www.cloud9ranch.ca.
