Introducing our NEW LOGO!

Thanks to the combined efforts of Shawn Getty of Getty Design, Somis, CA, and the design team at Tabula Creative Communications, Philadelphia, PA, The Pyramid Society is excited to officially unveil our NEW LOGO! The updated design includes elements from our original logo, such as the pyramid shape and the foundational horse inspired by Judith Forbis, coupled with modern lines and a bold, clear wordmark that can be used easily in a variety of settings.

This refreshed design is part of The Pyramid Society's broader marketing and branding efforts in 2012, including our dedication to more promotion of the Straight Egyptian horse around the world, as well as the launch of our new website in 2012. Look for the new logo to begin appearing in all Pyramid Society communications and publications in the coming months!

NEW! The Golden Scarab Sweepstakes (GSS) Futurity Program

News is easy to come by this month at The Pyramid Society, and the introduction of our new Golden Scarab Sweepstakes program is nothing short of a headline! Having paid out over $1,000,000 since inception, The Pyramid Society Straight Egyptian and Egyptian-sired Futurities have beenGold Scarab official some of the most successful classes in Egyptian Event history. Now, we're aiming to extend that success with the GSS.

 

In a nutshell, GSS Stallions are qualified EBC Stallions who become eligible for participation through a $500 annual nomination fee, used to build the GSS pot. Qualifying (Straight Egyptian or pure-bred, non-Straight) mare owners who purchase breedings to these GSS stallions throughout the year can then pay a $200 nomination fee for each resulting foal, further building the pot. Furthermore, The Pyramid Society will only retain 10% in administrative fees the first year to help really grow the pot! The two nomination fees, combined with class entry fees at the Egyptian Event, will offer exciting cash rewards to the top 5 winners in these new ATH Yearling classes, beginning in 2014 for foals nominated in 2012.
