2005
In the Pages of Horse Illustrated In 2005, the once-celebrated World Wide Web had become a wasteland of abandoned Friendster profiles, broken dreams courtesy of Match.com and a sickening reminder of fortunes lost through misguided investment in Pets.com. And then, from the rubble rose HorseChannel.com, the website for horse lovers! It was a shining beacon of useful news and information; a place where admirers of the equine could enjoy fellowship with like-minded denizens of the Internet.
The previous paragraph has a slight exaggeration or two, including the bit about the birth of HorseChannel. While we heralded its arrival in the October 2005 issue (click the thumbnail to the left to see the full-page announcement), it was pretty much just the same old HorseIllustrated.com until sometime in or around 2007 when it started to really become the website you know and love today.
