The Bluegrass Equine Digest received the second place award in the online equine-related newsletter category at the American Horse Publications (AHP) 2012 Annual Awards Competition in Williamsburg, Va., on June 2.

Now in its third year, the monthly e-newsletter dedicated to equine research at the University of Kentucky is co-edited by Jenny Blandford, Foundation Coordinator at the UK Gluck Equine Research Center, and Holly Wiemers, Communications Director for UK Ag Equine Programs. Alexandra Beckstett, associate managing editor at The Horse magazine, also edits the newsletter.

"This is a well-organized and well-designed newsletter, clearly valuable to the horse industry," said the judges. "The three-column design is good. Use of typographic hierarchy is good."
