Testimonials
Membership
"AHP helps me stay in touch with other professionals in the
industry and provides a good source of timely information." Barbara
Carroll, Affiliate Member
"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
"AHP membership is directly responsible for several
important career opportunities that have come my way. The contacts I've made
have been invaluable and the information I've gathered at the AHP seminars has
benefited both the publications for which I've worked and me
professionally." Jennifer Bryant, Affiliate Member
"As an editor and author, I find the trade news releases
useful." Steven Price, Affiliate Member
"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
"It's good to associate with others who face the same
challenges." Alan Gold, Director of Publishing, Cutting Horse Chatter
"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
"Incredible organization. Like no other I've ever been
associated with. Networking and the Newsgroup are the best two benefits for our
company." Lua Oas Southard, Equine Resources International, LLC
"Networking. Education. Resource. Great people. Always a
positive experience." Jackie Freundlich, EquestriSol
"There are tremendous benefits to being an AHP member. AHP
offers excellent opportunities to network with top industry professionals and to
keep informed of news in the equine industry." Lisa Munniksma, Affiliate
Member
"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
"There are great networking opportunities and good
educational offerings at the annual conference. AHP helps me keep up with the
industry happenings and who's doing what. It lets me get to know people in the
industry on a personal basis and gets my name out there in front of editors and
others who might be interested in my services." Sushil Dulai Wenholz,
Affiliate Member
"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
Seminar
"My first trip to the AHP conference proved to be an invaluable
experience. The seminars were more informative and inspiring than I could have
imagined, and I was thrilled to meet so many people and learn about their
publications, some of which were completely new to me. "I can't imagine not
attending the seminar every year. The professional development will definitely
improve the quality of my publication, and I really look forward to seeing such
a great group of friendly and enthusiastic people again next year!" - Julia
Lipman, Trot Magazine, Canada
"Where else can you get together with so many people who
share all the same professional goals and problems achieving them? Horse
magazines have very unique problems, which only others in our industry can
appreciate. Through AHP we brainstorm solutions to those problems and everyone
comes away with answers they can use. I've been coming to AHP meetings for more
than 18 years, first for The Horsemen's Journal, then for EQUUS,
and now The Chronicle of the Horse. I don't think I've ever gone home
without being inspired to return to the office charged up to do a better
job." Robert Banner, Publisher, The Chronicle of the Horse
"I want to thank you for such a wonderful seminar. It was a
great chance to meet in person many of the editors who I have been writing
for…and to contact those who I have wished to meet." Pamela Burton,
Affiliate Member
"I have received benefits from the information at the
seminars. Networking at the seminar has been helpful." Lindsay Serrell,
Publisher/Editor, Maverick Press
"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
