Target Audience and Event Format Our tactics are to develop a laser focus on the Hugo area resident that is not a horse enthusiast today, over age 40 women that were involved with horses as kids, and grandparent's of young children(6-14 years old). Events—September 2012 Hugo Area Horse Event (two days) • The event will market Hugo Area Stables. A formal Parade of Stables will host attendees at the stables. We will have a staging area at Dead Broke Arena for the tours. • Hugo Area Breeder's, and Hugo Area Horse related business units will provide exhibits and events at the Dead Broke Arena. • Basic training will targets kids on the couch playing video games. We will conduct a horse boot camp to teach kids how to behave around a horse, teach them the work that goes into feeding, watering and cleaning up a stable. • Advanced training for women over age 40 that were horse enthusiasts as children. For example, free rides in front of their children. Overview of typical training costs, rental fees, trails use, etc. • Grandparent's tent with seating that allows stable owners to discuss, the training available for young children (availability, costs and outcomes). • Free(or nominal cost) photographs of grandkids on horseback with the grandparents next to the horse.
