HorsesintheSouth.com is an Equestrian Online Magazine for Horse Competitions, News, Articles, Banner Advertising and Marketing, Equine Directory, Calendar of Horse Shows, Events and Education. I, Teri Rehkopf, am the CEO & owner of this site & now have & have had multiple independent contractors helping me with the development, design, graphics, sales, accounting, & all of the other stuff that goes in to making a huge website like this. I have many stories to tell on the processes that have been taken to get to this point over the years, so stay tuned!
I am creating a blog so that I have a broader base of ways to add news & my own outlook on what is happening in the horse world, my experiences, things & observations about my horses & my life developing, managing & producing this monster of a website that I created in 2000.
Actually it was earlier than that as www.nfla-horse.com, later to become www.northfloridahorse.com , then to grow into www.horsesinthesouth.com which includes partner/subsidiary sites, horses & my life developing. managing & producing this monster of a website that I created in 2000 (actually it was earlier than that as www.nfla- horse.com, later to become www.northfloridahorse.com, www.southernhunterjumper.com, www.southerndressage.com, www.dressageonthefirstcoast.com, www.horsesinflorida.com, www.eco-equestrian.com, & in development, www.southernsporthorses.com.
The first website that I developed was for my dressage trainer, judge – Kathy Daly of www.kdequine.com & what has blossomed into a great friendship. Her site was developed on my Bellsouth account in 1997. Later I got her a domain name & started with a hosting provider as the broadband for the views to her site was too large for the Bellsouth account.
That is when I developed www.nfla-horse.com & I added Kathy’s web pages to that website. Next I developed a website for my local Dressage club, Northeast Florida Dressage Association, NFDA, which was also pages associated with www.nfla-horse.com. As my site grew, I moved both Kathy’s site to www.KDEquine.com & the NFDA’s site, to www.nfladressage.com so they would have their own hosting space as my business was growing in web design both for horse-related sites & non horse-related sites.
Most of my clients have been with me since they began back in the early 2000′s.
I’ll be back soon to finish this… I have to do some work for my www.horsesinthesouth.com website & for my banner advertising clients. I will list my portfolio here, but you can also see it at both my corporation website www.synergyetc.com & on www.horsesinthesouth.com/clientsites/ or www.horsewebs.com or www.horsewebsites.com .
