Quarter Horse
News was formed as a weekly tabloid in December 1978. Today,
the business publishes a twice-monthly, award-winning news magazine
with more than 13,000 paid subscribers. It provides event coverage,
sale statistics and other timely information for the performance
horse industry.
In 1985, Quarter Horse News formed EQUI-STAT, its
statistical division. EQUI-STAT was initially developed to
research and compile results from aged cutting events for
editorial use. However, they soon incorporated results from
the National Cutting Horse Association and the American Cutting
Horse Association weekend shows, along with non-association
shows to form the largest and most comprehensive database
in the cutting horse industry.
Today, EQUI-STAT maintains performance records for cutting,
reining, reined cow horse, barrel racing, pleasure and halter
horses and competitors.
Quarter Horse News is published by Cowboy Publishing
Group, a division of Morris Communications Co.
Morris purchased Quarter Horse News in 1981.
