There have been a ton of really great opportunities happening for me in recent days , especially one that stands out above the rest that I want to share with my readers.

The Women’s Horse Industry Association (WHIA) will be celebrating their second annual conference on September 22 and 23, 2010 in Louisville, Kentucky at the Crowne Plaza Hotel.

There will be many speakers that are involved with the business of horses as well as dozens of exhibitors showing off their fine merchandise and equine business materials. In fact, I was given the l opportunity to speak about my awesome, revenue building horse farm management software. I am so excited, I can hardly sit still!

Another reason why this conference is so inviting is because it is right around the corner from the start of the FEI World Equestrian Games in Lexington, Kentucky which begins on September 25 and runs through October 10, 2010. The games are held every four years and this will be the first time that the WEG will be held outside of Europe. The WEG are the major international championships for equestrianism and considered by many horsemen to be more important than the Olympics.

My big dream would be to attend the WHIA conference with my horse loving daughter, Genna, who will be turning 21 years old on September 23. What an awesome way to celebrate her 21 years on this earth than to attend this conference with her and spend some time at the World Equestrian Games. I’m not sure yet how it will all come about but I’ll figure out a way. I always do

Genna, without her actually realizing it, was instrumental in bringing my software dream into fruition. On our many drives to the barn, from city life to country, we would or should I say, I would brainstorm with her about creating the perfect barn. The main idea was how we could best serve the customers that frequent the barn whether it be for lessons, horse training or maintenance of their boarded horse.

Oh, I had plenty of ideas and she would listen patiently and most likely she was already in her mind, at the barn riding and having fun. But that was alright with me, my fun was dreaming up new ideas.

Hope to see you at the WHIA in September. I feel we are already friends since we have one great connection – the love of horses.

What are your plans for attending the World Equestrian Games this year? Will you be going and what events are you interested in attending?
