PRIVATE ACCESS
American Horse Publication's
PICTORIAL BOOK OF 2006

AHP First Place Award

On June 23, 2007, Rallie McAllister, the Author of PRIVATE ACCESS Behind The Gates of America's Premiere Horse Farms and Ranches, accepted the coveted PICTORIAL BOOK OF 2006 FIRST PLACE AWARD award at the American Horse Publication's Annual Awards Banquet in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Participation in this year’s contest represented 1,006 entries. Held since 1977, the AHP Annual Awards Contest provides members with an opportunity to be recognized for excellence in equine publishing as well as professional critiques for improvement.

Quoting from the Presentation....

“A truly magnificent book, with the presentation being the perfect venue for the subject
matter. The farms and ranches shown here are all the best of the best, and the photography,
layout, writing and overall quality match them. The fact that this is a limited edition, put it
in a different class from other books here, which were done by commercial publishers and
hence had to conform to a business model. This book clearly did not.
It looks like a labor of love and art.”

Doug Prather signing draws large crowds at
the Las Vegas WVC Conference Again!

 
WVC Print Signing

Doug Prather signed 1,500 prints in the Fort Dodge Booth at the
2007 Western Veterinary Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada. Fort Dodge Animal
Health commissioned a special equine print of Doug's for the
event which was presented to veterinarians from all over the US and over 15
countries. Continuous crowds of people wrapped the booth during his signing
times for three days. Needless to say, after it was over Doug's hand was a little tired.
Doug said, "It is a great feeling to know that my prints are so appreciated.
So many people have collected my prints from the WVC and AAEP, starting back
in New Orleans. I am also grateful to Ft. Dodge and their parent company,
Wyeth Pharmaceutical, that makes Advil® pain medicine (which I am going
to take a couple of right now to relieve my hand cramps!)"
