Welcome to Saddle Up Magazine — your monthly source for all things equestrian! For more than 26 years, we’ve been connecting horse lovers with inspiring stories, breed features, horse health, training tips, event coverage, tack trends, and equine lifestyle content.
Each issue features original photography and custom graphic design, celebrating the people, horses, and communities that make the equestrian world so special.

The November issue of Saddle Up is here! Our writers have another great lineup this month. Sloane Hammond delves into Decoding the Equine Mind and how horses learn. Laureen James takes us from hobby horsing at Spruce Meadows to the Calgary Stampede 4-H Rodeo, exploring what makes 4-H all about learning by doing and growing for life!
Danika McGuinness highlights the bridle horse and traditions worth passing on, while we celebrate the competitors at the BC 55+ Games and their continued equestrian excellence.
Ever-popular roping clinician Cody Braaten is back with Part 3 of his series. We also have a sneak peek at author Merlin D. Ford’s latest book, The History of Clydesdales in Western Canada.
Be sure to pick up your FREE copy at locations across Canada or read it online from anywhere. Happy reading and riding!
