APRIL 25, 2014 – Welcome to THE SOURCE – Relevant Topics for the Egyptian Arabian Community! The Pyramid Society is excited to bring you this innovative new digital publication. Times, they do change! In keeping with our tradition of breaking new ground (see the feature article, “Developing a Breed”), we present the modern replacement for our venerable quarterly publication, The Pyramid Report. With the digital age in full swing, we are proud to offer a new SOURCE of information that takes full advantage of the interactive ability of this unique format. In THE SOURCE, which will be published online three times per year, you will find content heavily focused on one of the most important functions The Pyramid Society provides – education. The 2014 Egyptian Event is themed Gleannloch Farms: The Legend and the Legacy . Appropriately, we begin, “The Founder Series: Architects of The Pyramid Society,” with Douglas Marshall of Gleannloch Farms. Look for recurring series such as the “Heritage Horse Profiles” to provide not only historical information, but fun facts and personal insights, along with access to photo galleries and archival video. We also hope you enjoy our effort to provide new perspectives on many issues that challenge us today, as we believe that discussion will benefit the Straight Egyptian Arabian horse and all of its passionate enthusiasts. One feature of this new format, and one we are especially proud of, is the use of a single sponsor per issue. A big “thank you” to our first THE SOURCE Premier Sponsors, Virginia and Ruel Gober of Dreamco Arabians. To learn more about the Gobers, read their profile and follow the link to visit their brand new website. Based on member feedback, we have focused this publication on content and not advertising. This allows members to more readily participate in our Directory, Prize List and Website advertising, as well as plan for a presence in our two yearly signature publications – The Egyptian Event Show Program and The Pyramid Society Yearbook. What is The Yearbook , you may ask? It is our next new promotional endeavor, to be published within Arabian Horse World in December. The Yearbook will feature member-driven news with an exciting, must-read recap of The Pyramid Society year in photos and text. As an enhanced showcase for our Egyptian Stallion Guide and as a long-term keepsake, it will serve as the perfect location for YOUR farm’s promotional advertising spread. Everyone will want to be seen in The Yearbook ! Stay tuned for more details. Finally, the great thing about digital publications is the interactivity they afford. We encourage you to explore the many links provided in THE SOURCE, as well as to post your Gleannloch bred horses, share your 2014 foaling experiences, and participate in other discussions on our Facebook page. We want to hear from you about your horses and your experiences; we benefit from our members knowledge. Let’s explore the digital age of The Pyramid Society together! Most Sincerely, The Marketing and PR Committee of
