Bridle & Bit Bulletin Board

Where Magazine Readers Become a Community

Bridle & Bit Magazine has been covering the western performance horse world for over 45 years. The Bridle & Bit Bulletin Board extends that conversation beyond the printed page — giving readers a place to discuss what they've read, share their own stories, and connect with the people behind the articles.

With over 5,200 members, the group includes trainers, breeders, competitors, ranch owners, and weekend riders who share a common love for horses and the western lifestyle. It's moderated by the magazine's team, keeping the conversation focused and the quality high.

What the Community Discusses

The Bridle & Bit Bulletin Board goes deeper than classifieds. This is where horse people come to talk shop:

• Magazine articles and features — reactions, follow-up questions, and behind-the-scenes discussion on current and past issues
• Industry news — AQHA, NRHA, NCHA, NRCHA, ProRodeo, PBR, and USTRC updates as they break
• Training and horsemanship — methods, clinicians, and real-world questions from members at every level
• Competition results and recaps — who won, what happened, and what it means for the sport
• Breeding and bloodlines — stallion reports, mare care, foaling season, and pedigree discussion
• Equestrian lifestyle — ranch life, western culture, travel to horse events, and the stories that make this world unique
• Exclusive interviews — discussion around Bridle & Bit's interviews with Taylor Sheridan, Andrea Fappani, and other top names

About Bridle & Bit Magazine

Bridle & Bit Magazine has been Arizona's premier horse publication since 1978. The tabloid-format magazine averages 120+ pages per monthly issue and is free in both print and digital — one of the few remaining horse publications that doesn't charge readers a subscription fee.

The magazine covers western performance horses across reining, cutting, cowhorse, team roping, barrel racing, ranch riding, and rodeo. Exclusive interviews with industry leaders, competition coverage from major events, and in-depth training features set it apart from general equine publications.

Bridle & Bit is distributed at major events including the Run for a Million in Las Vegas, NRHA Futurity in Oklahoma City, Snaffle Bit Futurity in Fort Worth, Sun Country Circuit at WestWorld, and major team ropings across the Southwest.
