The Chronicle of the Horse is an American (once weekly but now 12 times a year[1] ) equestrian magazine.[2][3][4][5] It covers dressage, hunters and jumpers, eventing, fox hunting, and steeplechase racing.[2][1] It has been described as one of the "most prestigious" and "respected" US magazines about horses.[6]
It was started in 1937 by Stacy Barcroft Lloyd Jr and Gerald Webb.[2][1] It is headquartered in Middleburg, Virginia, in a building adjacent to the National Sporting Library.[2][3][4] In 1953, it changed from tabloid to magazine size.[3] Its website was created in 1998 and forums in 1999.[3]
In 2013, the Ohrstrom family sold the Chronicle to Mark Bellissimo, owner of the Winter Equestrian Festival.[7][8] In 2022, Bellissimo sold it to Global Equestrian Group, which also owns several other equine-related businesses.[9] In September 2025 the magazine was sold to GRANDPRIX Group.[10]
