About Our Readers . . . A recent survey conducted by the staff of ANVIL Magazine reveals that our readership of approximately 15,000 is:
  • Demographically spread evenly across the U.S. and Canada and extends to over 20 foreign countries.
  • Composed of 85% farriers and blacksmiths, with the remainder consisting of other professionals in the equine industry.
  • Largely made up of horse owners, averaging 2.5 horses per reader, making them buyers of farrier and equine products.
  • Possibly your best source of a sales staff. Farriers are the only horse professionals who see their horse owning clientele on a regular basis. Their advice about products is solicited and used for making buying decisions.

Throughout the year ANVIL Magazine is circulated monthly in the United States and in more than 20 countries worldwide. ANVIL Magazines are included in registration materials and furnished for distribution at targeted market events such as The American Association of Equine Practitioners Convention, The international Bluegrass Laminitis Symposium, The Calgary Stampede, American Farriers Association National Convention and Artist Blacksmiths Association of North America Conference.

Annually, ANVIL Magazine provides more than 15,000 complimentary copies to local and regional events for general attendance handouts as well as sales through supply outlets, association and school discount programs and international industry exchange.

With unsurpassed editorial content created each month by the largest, most professional body of writers in the industry, ANVIL Magazine offers a wide range of information in every issue, then spotlights special sections and topics of interest to help you plan your most effective advertising program.
