  • This Is What Top Equestrians Are Thankful For

    In almost every book we publish, we invite our authors to include a page of acknowledgments; this is their chance to thank those who may have had a hand in their careers or the making of their books. While it isn’t every day that we look back through to see who they’ve thanked over the…

  • Top 10 Lessons from Top Horse Trainers

    One of the best perks of working for an equestrian book publisher (assuming you are just the littlest bit horsey) is the constant immersion in equine-related theory, philosophy, and how-to.

  • How One Horse Says Goodbye to Another, and What We Can Learn from It

    The Trafalgar Square Books offices are located on a Vermont farm. We recognize ourselves as pretty lucky, seeing as in between meetings and calls with authors we can look out the windows and see both horses and Highland Cattle grazing in the green fields that slope up from the barn where our books and DVDs…

  • Horses and the Happiness Factor

    There’s been something missing from the news in general of late (and if your life is anything like mine, you can’t seem to escape that constant flow of “what’s happening”…all day, every day, yesterday, today, tomorrow). The problem is, it seems the “what’s happening” is all pretty dark, pretty frightening, pretty fractious, pretty upsetting. If…

  • A Look Back at Horse Books in 2015

      Each year, as we flip the last pages of December in anticipation for the beginning of January, we at TSB take some time to pause and consider the books we published over the past months. Not only does this process provide an important review of content in preparation for future titles, it also gets…

  • Join Dr. Allen Schoen June 6 to Raise Funds for the Catherine Violet Hubbard Animal Sanctuary in Newtown, CT

    Catherine Violet Hubbard loved all creatures—she did not discriminate. She told her family that when she grew up, she was going to take care of the animals. She even created business cards for “Catherine’s Animal Shelter” and appointed herself “Care Taker.” Tragically, Catherine was one of the first graders taken from us in Newtown, Connecticut,…
