Last year in this issue we presented the first four-color center spread, along with two additional single four-color pages with the four-color covers, for a total of 46 promotional ad pages and a 70 page magazine.  

This year, we are proud to present a grand total of 68 promotional ad pages, 26 color pages including the covers for a total of 100 pages.  As the industry knows, the Spotted Saddle Horse has the flash, color, pizzazz equaled by no other equine breed.  The SSH News is one of our greatest promotional tools , and we are now able to offer living color on our breed to newcomers.  Our blacks are blacker, our bays are richer, our sorrels are brighter, and in between our colors are more vibrant.  The growth of your magazine is unbelievable, thanks to you, our members!

The Fall Show (World Grand Championship) is just around the corner.  I wish the best of success to all exhibitors.  I know each of you has worked hard all show season long, preparing your horses to be the best they can be for the first week of October.

Sincerely,

Deedy Decker, Managing Editor
