COWBOY PUBLISHING GROUP was formed in May of 1996 when the group began publication of BARREL HORSE NEWS, a monthly tabloid size news magazine devoted solely to the barrel racing industry.

BARREL HORSE NEWS offers the largest national paid subscriber base of any barrel racing publication in existence. Readers consist of members of the National Barrel Horse Association (NBHA) as well as a substantial base of general interest barrel racers. Editorial coverage focuses on news within the barrel racing industry and offers a variety of barrel racing information from the large associations, such as NBHA, to major event coverage, brief futurity round-ups and the most comprehensive event calendars available.
