Description
Around 1976, I was elected Secretary/Treasurer for the North Idaho Draft Horse Association. My first job was to create a newsletter which I named the News Spreader. As the publishing/editor, I received many inquires over the next 3 years from people looking to buy another horse, or people asking who repairs wheels, and who makes harness and many other requests. I thought these questions were probably being asked all over the country and I figured someone should publish a directory of the draft horse supporting businesses.
I presented the idea to the North Idaho Draft Horse Association and the membership agreed this would be a valuable resource but no one wanted to take on the project. The members of the Association suggested I pursue this and they would support my efforts by advertising their businesses in the directory. After much thought I decided it would be a good thing, so in 1980 I published the first issue of the annual directory called The Reach.
In order to promote this publication, I attended several national draft horse sales and events to sell copies of the directory and to solicited advertisers for the next year's issue. Since I was traveling 1700 miles from home, I took with me, a couple books about draft horses published by Lynn Miller of the Small Farmer's Journal and sold subscriptions to this magazine to helped to pay gas and other expenses.
