“The important thing is that we stick together.” – Buzz Lightyear
I can’t believe that Blaze magazine has been sharing the love of horses for over 21 years! It wouldn’t be possible without teamwork here at Blaze headquarters. Putting together a great magazine needs all of us to work towards a common goal. That goal is always fun and fascinating stories about horses for our readers.
Our team includes a publisher, editor, writers, photographers, graphic designer, printer and a subscription department. And most importantly, YOU, our horse-loving readers. Thank-you for being part of the Blaze team.

Breed Profile
Appaloosa Horses are Spot On
The Appaloosa Horse is known for its striking spotted coat. Beneath the “pretty polka dots” the Appy has a heart of gold and a warm and wonderful personality.
The Appaloosa was the horse of choice for aristocrats and nobles in Europe in the 1600s and 1700s. Chinese Emperors described them as “Heavenly Horses.”
Stately Horse
A huge testament to the breed’s popularity, the Appaloosa was designated the “State Horse of Idaho” in 1975. Appy fans can order customized Appaloosa license plates for their vehicles.
