Abigail Boatwright Communications

Abigail Boatwright Communications I'm a freelance writer and photographer specializing in editorial content, photography and copywriting. You want to clearly communicate with your audience.

My wheelhouse includes equine publications, lifestyle magazines and small businesses. I’m an expert at aligning my writing to your brand’s voice and crafting a compelling message that delivers results. As an experienced freelance writer and photographer with a lifelong devotion to horses, I produce award-winning articles and photos for more than a dozen equine publications. While my wheelhouse is

western equine publications, I also write for regional and lifestyle magazines, websites and blogs. In addition to crafting content, I’m also a copywriter for a variety of platforms. I’m deadline-driven, meticulous about grammar, and enjoy collaborating to achieve just the right end product. I'm a skilled photographer for the equine industry, and my photos have appeared on 24 magazine covers and counting, but I also photograph humans for editorial, commercial and portraits,

I was a horse-crazy little girl, and grew up reading horse magazines, spurring on my passion to learn and contribute to the publications I work with today. I showed Quarter Horses as a youth and while in college, competed on the Texas A&M Equestrian Team. When I’m not working, I love spending time with my husband Zach and our children Wilder and Felicity.

I wish I could be in two places at once: my kids’ school events and dance recital, and the American Horse Publications equine media conference. I’ve attended 11 AHP conferences during my time as an equine media professional. I hope the attendees this year have fun and learn a lot, and good luck to the Equine Media Award winners! I miss y’all! Here’s some photos from past years. 😍

I loved getting to talk to the 4th graders at my daughter’s school today for career day. I talked about my work as an equine media professional, discussed parts of a magazine, shared some horse facts, and helped the students create their own magazine covers. Check out Western Life Today, Horse Illustrated and Young Rider as reference materials.

Happy National Freelancers Day! Thank you Chrome & Paint Horse Journal for the shoutout. I have learned so much from being part of the Official American Paint Horse Association, first as media staff, and as a freelancer for 15 years! It's my honor to contribute to your publications, telling the stories of Paint Horses and enthusiasts.

I made a New Year’s resolution to read the physical magazines I have subscribed to, and Texas Monthly has been one of my favorites. I appreciated this page in the magazine for the transparency it represents. AI is creeping into all facets of our lives, including journalism. I’m not opposed to using it for some tasks, but I am resistant to using generative AI in my writing. What do you think about a policy like this one?

I really enjoy writing for Chewy and its sister site PetMD! Check out this recent article about natural fly sprays:

The National Reined Cow Horse Association World’s Greatest Horseman is the most exciting Western performance horse event. I’m here watching the finals as media for Western Life Today. I love seeing so many people come out to watch this group of horses and riders compete in four different events to be crowned the winner.

I absolutely loved this story Kate B Creative wrote about the great Erin Taormino and her groundbreaking win at last year's World's Greatest Horseman. A repeat wasn't in the cards for tonight, but I'm still so thrilled we could share her story in Western Life Today in the latest issue.

It is fitting that the February digital Western Life Today is available the day of the NRCHA World's Greatest Horseman Finals, with an article on the first woman to win the title, Erin Taormino 🏆

This year, Erin and Hazardouz Material aren't in the Finals, but the pair were as gritty as could be in the preliminaries 🐴 Be sure to read about Erin's journey in the cow horse pen, and tune in the the NRCHA's live feed today to watch the four-event, true test of a horse and rider pair in the show pen.

Good luck to the competitors 🍀
