Boulder, Colorado. The print and digital publications of the Equine Network were awarded 24 honors at American Horse Publications’ annual seminar held recently in Williamsburg, Virginia. Awards ranged from Best Cover and Best Instructional Article to Best Service to Reader and Best Action Photo.

Publications honored included: Dressage Today, EQUUS, Equisearch.com, Horse Journal, Horse&Rider, Myhorsedaily.com, Practical Horseman, Spin To Win Rodeo, and USHJA In Stride.

“The topics in the projects recognized this year ranged from fire ants and manure management to pirouettes and the plight of horses in war,” said Equine Network Vice President Tom Winsor. “The subjects are as diverse as our library of publications. The staff of each, however, works tirelessly to educate and inspire readers in their own unique community of horse enthusiasts. We’re honored that our own community of publishers recognizes our efforts.”
