In 2007, American Horse Publications created the AHP Champion Award which is presented to individuals who are instrumental in the development and growth of the association.

Collectively, the winners are known as the AHP Circle of Champions.

AHP is truly grateful for these individuals who played an instrumental role in the growth of the association.
