The Horse is excited to announce the formation of The Horse Media Group LLC. The Horse Media Group LLC has replaced Blood-Horse Publications as the publisher of The Horse: Your Guide To Equine Health Care, TheHorse.com, and related custom publishing products as of March 1, 2015. The Horse Media Group LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association.

“The Horse has been a successful business unit under Blood-Horse Publications for many years, so it makes perfect sense to establish it as a stand-alone business,” said Marla Bickel, who has been the publisher of The Horse since 2010 and will remain publisher of The Horse Media Group LLC. “The same business philosophies that have made The Horse a success will continue to guide The Horse Media Group LLC.”

The Horse: Your Guide To Equine Health Care, first published in 1995, is an all-breed, all-discipline publication that provides the latest news and information on the health, care, management, and welfare of equids to hands-on horsemen and horsewomen each month. As a leader in digital media, TheHorse.com offers a plethora of online resources for horse owners, including monthly question–and-answer podcasts with industry experts, infographics on important horse health topics, e-newsletters, and more.

Stephanie L. Church, will continue on as Editor-in-Chief of The Horse. “Owners of all horse breeds continually seek high-quality, vetted information regarding how to care for their horses,” she said. “In an age where veterinary research is advancing rapidly, we’re proud to continue producing The Horse magazine and TheHorse.com—resources readers can trust for the most reliable and up-to-date horse health information available
