What is the Horizon Program?
Welcome 4-H and FFA members to the Fair Season! For those of you who have been loyal Horizon members for the past few years, we haven't changed our great program. We still offer the two-part discount for those members having breeding (year round) projects, and those with market (fair animal) projects. We continue to offer an interest free charge account to 4-H and FFA members who wish to purchase feed for their market animals on credit. This is also a great way for members to keep track of their purchases.
- Horizon members can purchase feed for their market animals at Rainbow's cost plus 10%. (Most feed stores offer 10% off retail.) That's a big difference!
- We also realize that many members are raising their own projects year round so we have structured our program to give a breeding project discount all year.
- Members will receive a discount on show supplies such as shampoos, show sticks, canes, halters and grooming aids. This discount in 10% off retail.
Our Horizon program starts fresh each season, This allows us to coincide with the 4-H and FFA project year. This means we require members to complete a credit application each year (for charge accounts only) and a Horizon form that automatically enters you into the Rainbow Ag & Purina Mills feeding program. Members who raise champion market animals and meet the requirements will earn great awards.
Come in to Rainbow in Ukiah or Lakeport and sign up for the Horizon program, and see you at the fairs! |
