Horse Magazines

There are a large variety of horse magazines, some focused more on ranching and others with a focus on the  performance horse. Working Ranch Magazine reports on all news dealing with a ranch  including animal nutrition, pasture management, cattle breeds, fencing, livestock equipment, tractors and much more. Working Ranch Magazine is by far the best informative ranching magazine out there that delivers news about the industry. Western Horseman has some of this news, but has a lot of articles about ranches throughout the country. The worst part of the Western Horseman is all of the advertisements they have.

There are a lot of great informative magazines about performace horses which may have been raised on ranches. Speedhorse and Track Magazine are both magazines focused on Quarter Horse racing. Barrel Horse News reports on the barrel horse industry, which is the largest growing equine sport in the world. Quarter Horse News publicizes information about the cutting, reining and cowhorses. This magazine has the largest connection between ranching and the performance horse because these events involve both. Quarter Horse Journal covers all of these, but in less detail, and it is decreasing in popularity among ranchers and Quarter Horse breeders raising the performance horse.
