Life, Inspired by Horses
Welcome to Northeast Equestrian Life, an exciting new magazine celebrating a passion for horses while championing the equestrian lifestyle. This free publication will feel right at home on your tack trunk at the barn or in a comfortable chair after a long trail ride. This is the magazine for you if you understand, or want to understand, the lifestyle that not only inspires us but that which gives us such enjoyment.
With quality editorial and stunning photography, Northeast Equestrian Life showcases life well lived.

We print 33,000 copies each issue, distribute to tack shops, feed and farm supply stores, tractor and trailer dealers, vet offices, pet stores, barns, events and more throughout Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island and New York.
