Columbus, OH — It’s a new year and Youth Beats magazine, the Standardbred publication for and about kids in harness racing, wants to feature your work.

If you’re under the age of 18 we are interested in publishing photos of you and your horses, photos taken by you (of horse-related subject matter, of course) and your best Standardbred stories.

We love to hear from our readers so don’t be shy. Send us your best stuff! Be sure to include your name, age, grade, and a description of your submission.

Youth Beats, a quarterly magazine published by Hoof Beats and the U.S. Trotting Association, is now entering its fifth year. With the help of generous sponsors, such as Hanover Shoe Farms and Vernon and Tioga Downs, and dedicated partners, including the Harness Horse Youth Foundation and the Harness Racing Hall of Fame, Youth Beats has grown significantly and now has nearly 850 subscribers across North America.
