Summary:
AQHA's Communications department consists of The American Quarter Horse Journal and America's Horse, and their respective web and social properties.
Our magazines reach into all aspects of the horse industry, from horse racing to showing to recreational activities like trail riding. In the past, our interns have written features and short items for print and online coverage of the American Quarter Horse industry and related activities.
With the evolution of AQHA's web and social network publishing projects, the duties of the online communications and publications intern have been refocused from working on the Association's magazines to helping with management of AQHA's online and digital content.
America's Horse Daily is a blogging platform that provides all horse owners with educational information on how to care for and train their horses. Besides being a one-stop shop for all information, America's Horse Daily (an online extension of America's Horse magazine, the official member publication of AQHA), also has five specialized daily e-newsletters and one weekly e-newsletter.
The content on the America's Horse Daily website and in the daily e-newsletters, along with regular updating of the Association's social media entities, is now a primary responsibility of the online communications and publications intern. This intern also travels (varies by semester) to our major world championship shows to help with event coverage.
