AQHA's publications department consists of The American Quarter Horse Journal, The American Quarter Horse Racing Journal and America's Horse, and their respective Internet 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.

If you’re looking for a crash course in event coverage, the fall internship is for you!
