Change Can Be Good

by Deb Taber

Like our horses and most of our other animal companions, we humans tend to balk at change. It helps if we're introduced to new concepts slowly and allowed time to adjust. So while I'm awfully excited about some of the changes going on at NWHS, I know there are readers who may toss their manes, stomp the ground and say, "But I liked it the old way!"

Well, take your time. Grab an oatmeal cookie and settle in. Northwest Horse Source, the magazine, remains pretty much the same. Northwest Horse Source online, however, is changing.

We invite you to explore our new website. Some of it remains the same, but many of your favorite features, such as articles, news, Ask the Experts and The Cyber Saddle weblog, have been updated to make them easier to navigate and more interactive.

What's New
· Use the site to comment on articles
· Better search function
· Find horse supplies and services on our Equine Neigh-bor map (coming soon)
· Find locations that offer NWHS
· Enlarge article photos for a better look
· Video coming soon!

What Stays Familiar
· The Equine Marketplace
· The events calendar
· Old articles still hosted at their old homes—no need to change your bookmarks
· Everything's still easy to access at www.nwhorsesource.com
There's more of both the old and the new, so check them out at www.nwhorsesource.com. See the links in the sidebar of the home page to learn more about us and get tutorials on how to get the most out of the new site. You, our readers, are the reason for the redesign. We hope you enjoy it.
