About SouthWest Horse Trader
Founded in 1998, SouthWest Horse Trader began as a regional equestrian publication serving competitive horse owners across the Southwest. For more than two decades, we built relationships, covered major industry events, and connected breeders, trainers, and advertisers with an engaged performance-horse audience.
Today, SWHT has evolved into a modern digital marketplace — built for how the performance horse industry operates now.
We combine 28 years of industry experience with structured digital visibility, connecting serious sellers, stallion owners, trainers, and industry brands with buyers actively looking in the performance horse market.
