HISTORY

There are still stories to tell and that is why Sharon of Hoof Prints Publications purchased SLO Horse News publication and relaunched the site in May 2015. Sharon is continuing the vision Jake of Wander West cast when he revamped the site in February 2014. SLO Horse News was created in 2009 by the Lavrouhin family.

Here’s a note from the Lavrouhin family for our 1st Relaunch Anniversary May 1, 2016, “Hi Sharon and all. I just wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you for keeping slohorsenews alive and well. I know it’s a lot of work and you, and Jake before you, have done a beautiful job. Thank you for creating the informative and classy, yet simple new website that is now being shared far and wide for its great content. Congratulations! And thank you again from Tina Lavrouhin and my girls Samantha Huston and Genevieve Odell.
