About the Horse Journal

Horse Journal is a quarterly print and website magazine covering North Bay equine and equestrian news and entertainment as well as the activities of the Sonoma County Horse Council (SCHC).

Our goal is to help our readers enjoy a successful journey with horses, and to reach the 30,000 North Bay equestrians through direct mail to individuals, organizations, 35 local horse clubs, and with distribution to local feed stores and equestrian businesses.
