Ideas for Morab Perspective Articles

 One of the most important parts of the Morab Perspective is sharing pictures and facts about our Morabs. Many people are shy about writing an article. Do not worry about proper punctuation, paragraphing, etc. We will be happy to do that for you. Just get us some written material so you and your Morab can inspire others. So we’ve developed these questions to help you write about your horses. These questions are just for ideas; you can answer all or none, but please share with us. Also please include photos of your horses if possible.

How did you first hear about Morabs?

How did you acquire your first Morab?

Describe what you think makes your Morab (or Morabs in General) different from other breeds.

“Magical Morab Moments”… Describe your favorite
memory/memories of special times or events shared with your Morab.

Other peoples’ comments or responses to your Morab.

Public event, shows, parades, etc. you participate in.

How many Morabs do you presently own?

Breeders

What made you decide to breed Morabs?

How many Morab foals have you produced?

Describe the beginning of your breeding program… share any events or results that might inspire others.

What are your proudest accomplishments as a Morab breeder?

What successful advertising have you used?

What do you feel are the best ways for us to promote your breeding program and the Morab horse?

Tips to other horse owners or helpful hints that you have learned. These can be very simple, for our beginner horse owners or as technical as you want for the experienced owners.

Some Technical Guidelines for Morab Perspective Submissions

Send photos in JPEG format, with a scan resolution of 300dpi. This is commercial quality and keeps the file sizes manageable. If you don’t have a scanner, we can scan them for you, just mail to us. Try to keep photo sizes down to 30 –70 KB, especially if you are sending lots of them

If you are sending your document in Word, make sure you set the paragraphs to 1.0 spacing, otherwise they don’t match all the others and I have to reformat. Please type normally, and let the computer handle the end of the line formatting. When you hit enter at the end of a line it embeds a command and when I paste the document into the MP the formatting is very time consuming to re-do.

We are using Arial 9 as our primary font for all documents.

Get things in on time! If you have a full page ad or something that you need to send by post office, let me know in an email that it is coming so I leave room for it. Be sure to  send your ads and get the payments in before printing

When designing your ads, remember to keep a 1” border around it. This will prevent the ad from getting cut off by the binding. After your ad is done, please lock all the boxes and photos to each other. This will prevent them from becoming misaligned when I move it into the MP.

If you have any questions about how to send something, don’t hesitate to email me at morabperspective@yahoo.com

Pictures for Farm News are limited to three photos per farm or individual. No advertising in the Farm News. Especially do not put prices of your horses for sale; there are many other advertising options available.

IMPORTANT: articles, pictures, advertising must be created in Microsoft Publisher OR Word.  
There is no charge for any Articles and Farm News that are submitted.
