There are lots of dating sites for singles in the horse and country niche market that all claim their site is both for finding romance or making friends, but the reality is they are dating sites for singles that want to also entice those only interested in friends that they have something in common with, usually horses. Most of the sites in this niche have names like Country Singles, Equestrian Cupid, Equestrian Match, Equestrian Date, Cowboy Cowgirl Match, Horse Match, Rodeo Singles, Country Dating, and so forth, which you’ll notice have a keyword in their domain name that makes it evident they’re for singles. Most are cookie cutter dating sites have a generic profiling system geared for searching for romance, and offer very little in the way of content or things to do for those who aren’t single. A predominant number of the people on dating sites are there for one reason only, finding love! This makes it difficult and even intimidating for those who are really only interested in making friends or contacts that share their passion for horses or the country lifestyle, people usually feel awkward messaging someone of the same gender requesting to be friends on a dating or singles site.

So is there a site in this niche market that truly provides a service for both singles seeking romance and non-singles only seeking friendship? The answer is YES! The Hitching-Post.net is a hybrid dating and social networking site for anyone interested in horses or the country lifestyle regardless of marital status.

So what makes The Hitching-Post.net different?

First you don’t see any keywords in their domain name that signifies they are strictly a dating or singles site. Although connecting those seeking romance who share similar interests is very much an integral part of their community, they make it clear they are a social club that’s also for connecting people interested in horses or the country lifestyle, regardless of marital status!

Let’s have a look at some of the features and content that makes them different than the typical dating sites you’ll find in this niche.

There’s a “Top Friends List” on your home page which is handy feature and something you normally only see on large Social Networking sites. You can sort your friends and the top 10 are added to the list on your home page which also includes links to send them a message or a “Howdy”.

Most dating sites have “Flirts” you can send other members. This is terrific if you’re single, but what about those just seeking friends? The Hitching-Post offers “Howdy” messages which are similar to traditional “Flirt” messages but with a big difference, they offer a variety of “Howdy” messages suitable for the purpose of just sending a friendly “Hello” to anyone, as well as “Howdy” messages that are flirtatious in nature. Howdy messages includes pre-formatted text along with images that makes them more fascinating and fun.

You can make your photos public or private, private photos are only viewable by those you’ve added to your friends list, with optional photo rating and commenting.

You have the ability to save “multiple” custom searches. With most sites you’re only able to have one saved default search based on the criteria you choose. Once you have saved searches, your selections are added to a menu box so they are readily available on both your home page and the search result pages so you can easily switch searches depending on what you’re seeking.

Country music fans will enjoy this site! You can include a Playlist.com music player in your profile which also shows up in the entertainment section of your home page so you have easy access to it as well. Besides the music playlist there’s streaming radio, tons of music videos, country news, as well as a decent selection of free wallpapers of country stars for your desktop.

If you’re single and astrological sign compatibility is your thing, they also have this integrated into the profiles. The system automatically pairs members as you browse profiles. This is a unique feature you won’t find anywhere else. Each pairing has a meter rating as well as a detailed reading.

Besides Blogs, there’s also sections where members can submit and share their favorite cooking recipes and horse tips. The site offers a wide range of stuff to do besides just browsing profiles.

The Hitching Post is more robust and feature rich than most of the traditional dating sites you’ll find in this niche market. Presently they’re offering FREE one year premium memberships, all you have to do is include at least one photo in your profile.
