EquinesUnlimited Announces Online Reining Community

West Haven, VT, October 14, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Reiners from all over the world have a virtual place to call home.

SlidingStop.com provides reiners, reining horse enthusiasts and NRHA affiliates with their own community on the Internet. Promoting the site as an exclusive community for reining trainers, breeders, stallion owners, riders, or anyone else who wants to share their reining experiences, users can instantly post blogs, photos, videos, classifieds, and more. Enjoying and sharing the reining experience has never been easier.

The ability for users to add their own dynamic content and interact with other users with similar interests, commonly called social networking, is a trend on the Internet that doesn't show signs of slowing down. According to a recent comScore World Metrix, the popular social networking websites, MySpace and Facebook, total unique visitors increased 72% and 270%, respectively, over the past year.

SlidingStop.com is a special-interest, or niche community, that allows other reiners to meet and interact with each other. Members can search for other reiners or join clubs to build a network of friends or business associates.

"The reining industry is surging with popularity and what a great way for reiners to interact with each other," said Scott Hanselman, founder of SlidingStop.com and long-time reining fan. "I've noticed the popularity of reining videos and photos on other well-known, but not horse specific sites, and thought that reiners would enjoy a virtual place to call home."

Becoming a SlidingStop.com member is easy; the user goes to the My Sliding Stop section and fills out a form to create a members page that can then be personalized. After registering, users have the ability to create their own blogs, upload photos and videos, interact in forums and more.

Trainers, breeders, and stallion owners can fill out a simple form to add their information to their respective directory listings, which to date have over 175 listings combined.

Hanselman noted that the community environment is not uncommon among reining enthusiasts. Reiners are very active in other online groups and forums; however, a website with all the social networking features dedicated to just reiners is a first of its kind.
