“To love a horse is no small passion,” their mission reads. “Through the ages, the horse has been the muse of artists, photographers, poets, writers, and fashion designers alike.” And it’s Equestrian Culture that hopes to share the fruits of this muse.

Equestrian Culture is an online publisher that “considers equestrianism through the lens of art, design, and literature.” They seek articles, essays, short stories, poetry, interviews (of equine artists) and photographs that are engaging and previously unpublished. Published each Wednesday, accepted pieces should explore the many aspects of the horse culture, including traditions, influences, and trends. Keep in mind that while they accept articles, they are not looking for advice/how-to, horse show reports, or rider profile articles. Additionally, interviews should be more than a Q&A style. Equestrian Culture seems to be seeking more of the literary majesty of horse culture than the nitty-gritty.

Though their main site is crisp with a professional design, Equestrian Culture does not include a staff page. Danielle, the name within the contact email, is presumably the editor. Equestrian Culture also has quarterly themes, so be sure to check their site. They aim to respond to submissions within two weeks. Their contributor payment of $25-$50 buys First Worldwide Internet Rights, with payment about two weeks after publication.
