About ARG

In 1999, Saddle Partners of America (SPA) was formed by a group of equine enthusiasts who saw a need among horse owners for education about the legal issues that surrounded their mutual interest in horses.  One of the greatest needs they addressed within that organization was to provide liability insurance specifically for equine enthusiasts to cover activities that may be limited or excluded from a home or farm insurance policy. 

In 2006, Association Resource Group took over operations of SPA and not only extended membership to any club or organization, but also expanded their benefit offerings to members. Great benefits, promotional opportunities and easier access to educational information are now a priority for ARG.  We want to partner with you to help you grow your club and retain your members.

 

   

The theory behind ARG is multi-fold:  

1.)    Clubs…..Clubs are always struggling with liability concerns.  We live in a very insurance conscientious society today and some type of insurance coverage is not only recommended but in some cases a must have.  ARG offers its members access to several very valuable insurance coverages that your club members may need or be interested in.

2.)    Membership Drives….Clubs, councils and/or associations are always looking for new and creative avenues to help increase membership numbers.  Benefit programs have become very popular over the last several years as enticements to help potential new members choose between clubs.  ARG encourages and will help promote your club to potential members via direct links to your site, discounted website advertising, as well as the ability to list your club's activities on our website's calendar page with a direct hyperlink to your club's site.

3.)    Member Benefits…..Benefits are an important part of the equation for increasing membership into a club, council or association.  ARG has spent countless hours researching, gathering information and putting together a benefit package for its members.  When your club, council or association joins ARG, the benefit package will be accessible to your members.
