ROA purchase The Owner Breeder Magazine

Dear Owner

I am delighted to inform you that the Racehorse Owners Association has completed its acquisition of The Owner Breeder magazine, acquiring the Thoroughbred Breeders Association’s stake in the business.

The purchase of Europe’s leading equestrian publication has been a plan for some time now, to drive new and exciting ways to both develop our communications to the racing community but also push The Owner Breeder magazine forward as a top-class, internationally renowned equine publication for the whole racing community.

The Owner Breeder is highly rated by our members and has well over 20,000 regular readers every month. It is very influential and has proved a great voice for both owners and breeders within the industry and beyond.

Circulation and readership numbers have remained stable and we are delighted at how the support of our advertisers has remained consistent and, indeed, is ahead of the same time last year despite these difficult Covid times.

We recognise what The Owner Breeder publication means to our members and to the wider racing world. The Owner Breeder is the voice of the wider community, showcasing what it means to breed and own and race here in the UK, as well as throughout Europe and further afield.

The Owner Breeder also has a fast-growing digital presence with over 10,000 unique monthly users of its web site and increased support on its Twitter, Instagram and Facebook pages.

Over the coming months we will be looking to invest in the growth of the publication across its channels and deliver bigger, better, thought-provoking opinion, debate and stories that get to the heart of the issues facing racing and breeding around the world.

We look forward to driving this much-loved and well respected racing publication forward.

Yours sincerely,
 
Charlie Liverton
Chief Executive
