Based in Georgetown, Ky., Innovative Equine Marketing provides product support to equine facilities and tracks in North America. Through this new relationship, individuals in the equine industry will have access to preferred pricing on Exmark mowing equipment, as well as Toro turf and landscape maintenance products and precision irrigation solutions.

“We’re always looking for new opportunities to enter into new markets and the equine industry seemed like a perfect fit for Exmark,” said Rick Olson, general manager at Exmark Manufacturing. “We know having the best turf conditions is important for the industry participants and we’re excited to be the provider of quality, high-performing products and services to help customers manage their operations successfully.”

“To have The Toro Company and Exmark Manufacturing commit to a multi-year partnership in support of our industry is quite an honor,” said Steve Andersen, founder of Innovative Equine Marketing. “From race tracks to the smallest equine facility specializing in any breed or discipline, we welcome the entire equine world to look at this great partnership and how it can benefit their operations. With industry-leading Exmark and Toro equipment, low-rate financing and preferred pricing, this partnership delivers tremendous value to those in the equine market.”
