‘Tis the Season

Brrr, here comes winter! As another year winds to a close, it’s time to reflect on goals achieved or perhaps dreams dashed. The good news is 2020 is on the horizon with the promise of a fresh start where anything is possible.

Here at Horse Illustrated HQ, we welcome new Digital Content Editor Sarah Evers Conrad. Sarah brings onboard her vast experience in print and online media, as well as a background running her own marketing business. We are excited to have her!

If you’re looking to get into the holiday spirit, you might want to try your hand at making a horse head wreath for the front or stall door. On pg. 10, Raquel walks you through each step with this simple but highly rewarding craft. If you’re more of the type to get lost in a good book, Anna Sochocky has nine great recommendations on pg. 54, no matter your preferred style of equine read (mystery, fiction or memoir).
