Write for Horse Rookie

We help equestrians of all levels (especially rookies) answer common questions, make informed decisions, and have more fun with their horses. If you’re a personal blogger with solid writing skills and deep knowledge on a horse-related topic, consider submitting a guest post for our site.

Note: If you’re reaching out on behalf of a brand/company/non-personal blog, please review our Media Kit instead!

*We donate to the minority-focused nonprofit of your choice for every guest post by an equestrian of color.

How it Works:

Step #1

Email outreach (@) horserookie.com with the following information: 

  • Name
  • Website/blog
  • Brief summary of your equestrian experience and areas of expertise*
  • 3-5 Article ideas (We do not accept content previously published elsewhere.)

*Or, you’re welcome to write a Letter to My Rookie Self. In that case, simply email your letter to us!

Step #2

If you’re a good fit, we’ll respond with 3 article topics that align with your background and interests, as well as our overall site content goals. You choose the one you like best. 

Step #3

We provide a short article outline for your chosen topic. Once you’re done writing, email it back to us for editing.

If you include images for your article, we require written proof of permission to use them.

Note: You’re welcome to include 2-3 links to your personal blog throughout the article. You can also link within your author bio. Remember, if you’re reaching out on behalf of a brand or non-personal blog, you’ll need to engage with us via our Media Kit. See the link at the top of this page.

Step #4

We polish and format your piece, then we send you a link when it’s been published. We’ll also provide social media graphics you can use to promote your article on Pinterest, Instagram, and Facebook.

Step #5 (Required)

Write a short “blog teaser” on your website that links* to your full article on Horse Rookie. (Here’s an example.)

Note: In some cases, the blog teaser requirement may be substituted with a Horse Rookie guest post on your website. Let us know if you’d like to discuss this option! 

*Link must be do-follow.
