Hancock Horse Breeders Group ADS: Horses for Sale - Sales & Auctions Stallion Service Ads - Services & Product Ads Advertising shows your horse operation is a business to the IRS. this cute little ad was featured in the Western Livestock Reporter years ago AD Policies & Prices: What & Where: Classified Ads (general ads) are posted on the classified ads page. These ads are anything other than stallions or banner ads - they include general horse ads (for sale, lease, wanted, stolen, etc.), ranch ads, ads for pets, announcements, want ads, products or services. Horse Sale & Auction announcements - there is a separate segment at the bottom of the Classifieds Ad Page - devoted to Hancock Horse Sales & Auction announcements. This is a free listing service, so must pertain to sales featuring Hancock Horses. Stallion Directory Listings, are restricted to stallion service ads, and breeding age stallions for sale or lease. (prospects & youngstock go on general classifieds page.) Sponsorship Banner Ads. A little different deal, these ads are revolving banners that change at each page refresh or predetermined intervals, that appear as page headers on top of the 5 main pages (homepage directory, classifieds, stallions, articles & links pages.) Ad Placement: Paid photo ads appear at the top of the page... free text ads are listed below the photo ads. Newest ads are always added to the top of their category for repeat visitors' convenience. Ad Content: Paid ads have few restrictions (e.g. not restricted to Hancock bloodline horses, or even horses for that matter, but most prospective buyers on this website are more likely to be looking for those.) We reserve the right to favor Hancock Horse ads & content when we deem necessary. Free ads should pertain to Hancock Horses. Also, don't forget: LOCATION Please! always include your state or province in your ad; that is critical information to a prospective buyer. Do not send your ad text TYPED IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS. (When online, that is considered "shouting or hollering" and can give the impression of being impolite.) Go here for more ad content suggestions: Horse Ad Tips. We reserve the right to edit, abridge, or refuse any submissions. We reserve the right to adminster our policies on a case by case basis. Who: Paid advertising and webdesign services are available to the general public. This is how we will support the free membership services we provide on this website. How: You have to send them to me. We do not have an automated uploading system yet, so you can't do it yourself. (maybe in the future!) The good thing about that is, you get the personal touch, and I resize & retouch photos as needed w/o additional charge. Send ads to me (Donna), and I will post them on this website for you. The best way to do that is to email both your ad text & photos to me at donna@hancockhorses.com. Upon receipt of payment we will make every effort to have your ad posted ASAP! But - at this time weblackey is working several jobs to make ends meet, and occasionally is not as timely as she would like to be! Harrassment by email is allowed & occasionally necessary! :o)       Keep your text separated from the photos (i.e. it is time consuming to separate them if they are together in an attached MS Word .doc or Adobe .pdf for example). Include ad text plus photos in the same email. Photo format should be .jpgs.       You can also (snail) mail your ad content & photos to me. I can scan your photos if you do not have a scanner. Mail me at Donna Vickery, 5555 Siewert Rd, Shepherd MT 59079.       You can also call me on my cell phone at 406-861-6854 (lv msg). But the fastest, easiest & most reliable way to reach me is by email. I am slow checking messages on my cell.       When you ask me to do an ad update, please tell me what DATE or code is at the end of your ad - it looks like this: (xDec07) so I can easily find your ad to update it! That saves me LOTS of time when we have a lot of ads online; thanks!       Online payment: IS available. Scroll down page for details. All funds quoted in USD. Prices: Ads come in 3 size/price options: (1) TEXT ADS: FREE! (even includes a free email link) (2) PHOTO & DISPLAY ADS: $25 for 4 months or $50 for 1 year - includes text + weblink + graphic (photo or logo). Larger display ads: contact us for custom pricing.

This is because the stallion ads are becoming more numerous, and mare owners appreciate a uniform directory style approach when stallion shopping. It now also provides room for your stallion's pedigree. Prices: Stallion ads come in 3 size/price options: (1) STALLION TEXT ADS: FREE! Even includes a free email link.

Banners are height = 98 pixels x width = 620 pixels. Banner ads can be purchased for any product or service, including stallions. Content: Paid stallion ads are not restricted to Hancock bloodline horses, but most prospective buyers on this website are more likely to be looking for those. We reserve the right to favor Hancock Horse ads & content when we deem necessary. Free ads should pertain only to Hancock Horses. A note to stallion owners: Internet advertising levels the playing field for all stallion owners: Here, your horse is found by more people, and is judged on his own merits, not your pocketbook. Instead of spending thousands of dollars targeting limited audiences in a printed magazine that has a 30 day shelf life - consider online advertising. With the internet, mare owners are no longer as likely to look through stacks of old magazines or breed newspapers to find outdated ads. Mare owners want to see current information on your stallion now. They want to see breeding animals tastefully presented with current photographs & detailed information. Get the best advertising value: For the lowest price possible, we will present your stallion to the widest audience possible - an audience that is already looking for your Hancock bloodline stallion.

CAVEAT EMPTOR

General Honor System & Case by Case Approach. This website is a family style project, and we do everything here with a personal touch. Michelle & I (Donna Grace) are the sole owners of this website and I am the sole weblackey of this site. We answer to no one other than you, our members, when it comes to our policies and how we administer them. We have a strong sense of fair play solidly in place, and we promise to always try to give more to our members than we ask in return. In order to do that effectively, as resident weblackey, I reserve the right to administer our policies here on our website, on a case by case basis. In certain situations, I may handle one case differently from another case. If I did not reserve the right to do that, I might succumb to a situation where those taking unlimited advantage of our generous policies would force me to change and restrict our policies for all those of you who happily enjoy, honor & benefit from, their underlying intent. So. Michelle and I will continue to administer our policies as we see fit, and to accept, edit, and/or refuse any ads or submissions. This is our way of honoring & appreciating our fantastic membership, and still keeping HancockHorses.com enjoyable & rewarding for everybody involved. All questions, accusations, complaints, whining, kudos, and other commentary are cheerfully accepted by emailing me.

We are not responsible for any misrepresentation, etc. and do not represent any guarantees of any kind.
