The AHP Equine Media Conference was cancelled for 2020 after the Lexington hotel was unable to host the event in May due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This is disappointing news for an association celebrating its 50th anniversary. Through the years, AHP has always created an atmosphere of friendship and mentorship, largely due to our common bond of horses and media. We look forward to planning the next conference in Texas scheduled for May 20-22, 2021.
