AQHA Senior Director of Marketing and Publications Jim Bret Campbell

• “I definitely want to take the time to get out of the office and spend more time horseback!”

AQHA Online Editor Tara Christiansen

• “My New Year’s resolution is to get my 4-year-old, ‘Jules,’ broke in a hackamore.”
• “More trail riding is also a resolution, and I don’t think Jules and ‘Nikki,’ my bridle horse, will complain!”

AQHA Director of Online/Interactive Communications Jody Reynolds

• “My New Year’s resolution is to spend less time sweating the small stuff and focus more on the big picture.”

America’s Horse editor Holly Clanahan

• Ride more (yes, even when it’s cold).
• Love more. Laugh more.
• Care less about the unimportant stuff in life.

The American Quarter Horse Journal Editor-in-Chief Becky Newell

• “To get more, and better, sleep!”

The American Quarter Horse Journal editor Christine Hamilton

• “To save money for a new-to-me half-ton truck, at least half of the purchase price.”
• “I also want to increase my personal blog writing.”

AQHA fall publications intern Allison Grayson

• “I want to make sure to enjoy my last year of college before I graduate in June, even with tons of deadlines! That includes finding time to ride.”
