What members write...

"I had put off joining, but joining paid off very big. It helped us grow our revenues and increase our profits."
Cheryl Erpelding, CEO, California Riding Magazine

"We were just so new to publishing when we started. It was great to connect with others who had already been there and whose opinions we could respect and trust."
Rhonda Hart-Poe, Editor, The Gaited Horse

"There is a certain value in being part of a national organization of people who can relate to what I do, especially since I am a one-person operation. Though I don't access the Web site or use some of the other member services regularly, I know they are available. The seminars are the biggest benefit to me for education and inspiration. I enjoy the chance to travel and to meet the fun and interesting faces that go with the names I see in print all the time--the people who write, photograph and spread the word about my favorite animal, the horse."
Sandy Kucharski, Editor, The Sentinel

"The opportunity to swap ideas on every segment of magazine publishing is unequalled and not available anywhere else."
Frank Lessiter, Editor/Publisher, American Farriers Journal

"AHP is a great way to meet and connect with others in business that otherwise I would not have met. It offers an opportunity to participate in the Awards program for recognition of our staff and contributing writers. We also learn and share applicable ideas and opinions on production and operations of a publication."
Brian Sosby, Editor, Equestrian Magazine

"Networking is by far the most valuable benefit. I can't understand why anyone wouldn't want to take advantage of it."
Doug Hayes, Director of Advertising, The American Quarter Horse Journal

"AHP membership has probably been the single most valuable affiliation for my publication."
Fran Jurga, Publisher, Hoofcare and Lameness

"I have received invaluable information on working in the equine industry. The resources are very valuable as well as I really appreciate the returned responses via email. This organization is committed to the success of its members."
Karen Pickering, Publisher, Northwest Horse Source

"I don't know the dollar value I would assign to benefits my publication has reaped from AHP membership, but I know it would be at least 10 times the annual dues. The friendly networking with industry leaders alone has been worth that much, not only because of new contacts, but because of new ideas."
Warren Wilson, Publisher, California Horsetrader

"I learn from successful people in our industry. Where else could I meet publishing giants in the horse industry and establish a relationship that allows me to call them with a question or for advice. The seminars make me examine my goals and standards every year and give me the tools to grow and have a better product."
Darlene Jacobson, Partner, Virginia Horse Journal
