Saddle Horse Report is putting together a special section devoted to the pleasure horse. Over the years, the pleasure division has evolved and our staff writers have put together a story highlighting these changes and some of the past and present stars of the pleasure division, including pictures of the very first world and national pleasure champions.

Advertise in this special section and $25 for a black and white ad or $50 for a full color ad will be donated to Saddlebred Rescue. This issue, dated Aug. 18, will be passed out at Louisville to all the barns as well as the hotels and will also be at the All American Horse Classic.

Deadline to reserve space and submit ad copy is Wednesday, Aug. 13. Photos must be received at Saddle Horse Report by Thursday, Aug. 14.
