Welcome to the May issue, our first annual Ladies Edition celebrating women in horsemanship and their incredible stories within the horse world. We’re excited to share their stories and look forward to featuring many more in the years ahead.
Writer Laureen James, in Life After the Crown, reconnects with rodeo queens past and present as they reflect on life beyond the crown, alongside the Queens’ Alumni Association of the Calgary Stampede Royalty, celebrating community and western heritage. We’re also excited to feature an inspiring sit-down with Amberley Snyder, captured at the 2026 Ontario Equine Expo by Nicola Cocorocchio—a conversation you won’t want to miss.
Our May cover features Old Baldy Ranch with their stallion AW Blue Fire N Te and owner Colleen Wangler. Learn more at northernhorse.com/oldbaldy
Happy reading and riding!
