About AHP & Trafalgar Square Books

American Horse Publications Equine Author Meet-Up
American Horse Publications (AHP) has held an annual conference for its members since the 70s. The three-day equine media event is jam-packed with educational sessions, special events, and the announcement of the AHP Equine Media Awards. Sessions cover publishing trends, journalism, sales and revenue building, marketing, and much more. The conference is the number one place in the equine industry to network with the equine media and members of AHP. 

American Horse Publications is an association dedicated to promoting excellence in equine media. Members are equine publishing media, freelancers, businesses, organizations, colleges, and students.

Trafalgar Square published its first horse book in 1985. That book was Centered Riding by Sally Swift—a book that helped start an organization and revolutionized how to learn to ride and teach others to ride. Caroline and Ted had received lessons from Sally on their farm, so Caroline—who had spent many years prior in the publishing worlds of London and New York—was the natural choice to help bring Sally’s book to life.

​Horses are still an integral part of Trafalgar Square Farm. They graze in the fields outside the office windows, and they are housed in stalls in the walk-in lower level below the offices. In addition, all others involved with creating the horse books and DVDs are still or have been involved with horses. They are owners, trainers, pleasure riders, and competitors. They’ve driven horses, jumped them, and ridden in Western, hunt seat, dressage, and saddle seat saddles. They’ve owned Morgans, Minis, Thoroughbreds, Hanoverians, Lusitanos, Appaloosas, and Quarter Horses, to name just a few.
