NEW FOR 2021 – ADVERTORIAL SPACE

This year we are offering free Advertorial space with each Stud advertisement purchased.

An advertorial is a form of advertising which involves giving information in the form of an article.
Your advertorial will be text only – no images will be allowed. Ideas for advertorials could be:
• Your stud history / stud news
• A tribute to a particular animal
• Your foaling list of mares covered for 2021.
• Details of the stallions you stand at stud
• Details of stock for sale

How much advertorial space do I get for free with my Advert?

• Double page Advert + 1 Full page Advertorial
• Full page advert + 1 Full page advertorial
• Half page advert + 1 Half page Advertorial

The word count for an advertorial page is between 350 – 400 words. The word count for a half-page is between 180 -200 words.

Your advertorial content must be submitted at the same time as your advertisement. This is optional – if you do not wish any advertorial space please note this when submitting your advertisement.

The Society reserves the right to edit advertorial content.

Photographs

• Good reproduction in the Journal requires high quality originals
• Inkjet prints will not be accepted as they are of insufficient quality
• Photographs should be supplied electronically, preferably as jpegs. If you do not have the facility to supply photographs electronically, please contact the Office.
• Digital photographs must be scanned to a high resolution of a minimum 300dpi.
• Photographs submitted for consideration for the ‘Prize-winners’ section should have the registered name of the animal, details of winnings and photographer credits attached.
• All professionally taken photographs must be supported with an authorisation for publication from the photographer. Most photographers give the Journal permission to print in the editorial section without an additional fee but where a photograph is also being used in an advertisement a fee may be incurred. Please respect the Photographer’s copyright.
• The responsibility of obtaining authorisation for publication lies with the owner of the animal.
• All photographs must be credited to the photographer and that also includes non-professional photographs
