For display ads, we have multiple insertion discounts.  We print six times a year, and cover a wide range of equestrian activities and disciplines.  We also offer discounts to local businesses and to qualified 501 C(3) charities.

Several options are available for display advertising.  Color or Black & White, Full Page, Half Page, Quarter Page & Eighth Page.  Our color ads are vibrant and bright.  Perfect for advertising horses for sale, breeding stallions, etc.  Please keep in mind that our newspaper display ads are larger than a traditional magazine.  See the rates link below for full details.  Email us with any questions regarding display ads.

Local Discounts are for local businesses within 100 miles of Aiken County. These discounts are intended to enable Aiken horse businesses to continue advertising with us as we expand. The discounted rate is also available for co-op ads, as long as one member of the co-op is located within our local area.
