I am writing to express my support as Mayor of Lexington, Kentucky for the application of the Dot Horse Project, LLC. As I understand it, this project will secure, create and operate the .horse top-level domain (TLD).
The horse industry is a very significant industry for Lexington-Fayette County. With the exception of Woodford County, there is no other county in the state of Kentucky where this industry plays such an important role. My economic development vision is based on horses, healthcare and high-tech, and when the economic impact on the entire region is studied, one can quickly see why we place such importance on the equine industry in Central Kentucky.
Securing thi stop-level domain, as conceived and proposed by the Dot Horse Project, LLC, represents the best interests of our horse industry and will continue to solidify Lexington as the Horse Capital of the World. In September of 2010, Lexington, Kentucky will host the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games, the first time the event has ever been outside of Europe. The Games is the single largest equestrian event in the world and, as the participants from all over the world visit us n the web, the .horse domain would be a key branding tool.
On behalf of the citizens of Lexington-Fayette County, I would ask that you look favorably upon the application of the Dot Horse Project, LLC for the .horse top-level domain.
Sincerely,
Jim Newberry,
Mayor
