Equine Photography: Elisabeth Panepinto

Elisabeth Panepinto is a young photographer from Belgium. Her work is extraordinary in the way she is able to so effectively capture the dazzling beauty of the equine form. Both her black and white and her color photographs are stunning. I love the unique ways in which she orients and crops her compositions. She is definitely a talent to be looking out for in the coming years. I would love to own a huge coffee table book featuring her work.

We Made It: Our First Print Issue Has Been Sent to the Printer’s!

Thank you all so much for contributing to our successful Kickstarter campaign! As you can imagine, we are all so excited that we made it to our goal. We are so thankful for all of our backers and everyone who shared our campaign while it was running! We were amazed that individuals from all over the country and even internationally found our campaign and subscribed to Equestrian Culture.

Last Tuesday, we sent our Holiday Issue to the printer’s! We are having the magazine printed by J.S. McCarthy, one of the largest printers in New England (and probably the largest in Maine). They are a great company and I know that they are going to create a gorgeous print version of Equestrian Culture for us. They are also handling all of our distribution, so the minute the magazines are finished, J.S. McCarthy will mail them directly to every backer whose reward included a subscription or a copy of the magazine!

Equestrian Culture Holiday Issue Cover

Expect them in your mailboxes in a little over a week! (If you would like to order a subscription or a copy of our first printed issue, they are currently available to purchase here on our website: equestrianculture.com/shop)

This week, I (Danielle) will begin mailing out prints and necklaces to all backers who chose that reward option and I have already begun working on custom portraits. My goal is to have all of the custom portraits finished and shipped in time for Christmas. Below is an in-progress sketch of one of the portraits.

Thank you all again so much for making our goal a reality! We are having a blast making this magazine! We hope that you all enjoy our first printed copy.

All the best,

Danielle, Leah & Rachel
