Supporting Our Horse Community: The Athens Area Horse Community 2025 Calendar

It’s not often you get the chance to combine passion & purpose, but that’s exactly what the Athens Area Horse Community 2025 Calendar aims to do. As an equestrian photographer and advocate for local horse owners, I’m thrilled to have had the opportunity to photograph this beautiful project. And this isn’t just a collection of pretty pictures – it’s about directly benefiting our Athens Area Horse Community (AAHC) and their dedication to supporting the local horse community.

Let me share a little more about what this calendar is, how it can benefit you, and why supporting AAHC matters so much to our horse community.

What Makes This Calendar So Special?

The Athens Area Horse Community 2025 Calendar is more than just gorgeous photos of the horses we love, what really sets it apart is the valuable information packed into every month.

Each page includes practical, region-specific data that horse owners need throughout the year. We’re talking about everything from vaccination reminders, parasite control schedules, and deworming tips, to key dates for mowing, weed control, and planting grasses that thrive in our local soil and climate.

If you’ve ever wondered when exactly to check fecal floats or spray weeds in North Georgia, this calendar has you covered. It’s a tool that’s designed to make horse care just a little bit easier.

The Athens Area Horse Community Mission

The Athens Area Horse Community’s mission is simple yet crucial: help local horse people solve the problems they collectively face and to offer opportunities for growth and improvement. AAHC focuses on serving horse people that reside within an hour of Athens, Georgia, and they are dedicated to the growth of the local community so that horses are here for future generations.

The AAHC are working to unite the horse community – to partner with county and state level leadership, fighting for sustainable development of green space, offering education and resources for both horse lovers and the general public. AAHC is dedicated to keeping our local horse scene vibrant and thriving, helping owners with valuable resources, events, and education.

By purchasing the 2025 calendar, you’re not just getting an incredibly useful guide and a work of art for your wall – you’re directly supporting AAHC’s efforts to build a stronger, more connected community. Whether it’s helping new owners learn the ropes, providing seasoned pros with up-to-date local knowledge, or organizing events that bring us all together, AAHC is at the heart of it all.

Photographing the Heart Horses of the Athens Horse Community

Photographing this calendar was such a special project for me because it wasn’t just about getting great images – it was about connecting with the heart of our community. Every horse, every owner, every barn I visited were unique glimpses into equestrian life in the Athens, Georgia area. I loved getting to know each horse’s story. Stroking velvet soft noses and listening to way each horse owner loved their horse reminded me of why I am an equine photographer.

This project allowed me to create something that feels personal to the horse lovers in our area. These aren’t just any horses, and this isn’t just any calendar. It’s our heart horses, a celebration of who we are as a community – and the bond we all share through our horses.

How You Can Support and Get Involved

Want to get involved? It’s simple. Purchase a calendar, and not only will you get a stunning piece of equine artwork and a valuable horse care tool, but your contribution will go straight toward supporting AAHC’s ongoing mission.

And if you want to get your own horse into next year’s calendar, keep an eye on the AAHC photo contest! I’m always excited to meet more local horses and help capture their unique personalities for the next edition.

Working Together for Our Horse Community

As a local equestrian myself, I know how important it is to have a strong, supportive horse community – and that’s exactly what the AAHC is fostering here in the Athens, GA area and beyond. When you support projects like this calendar, you’re investing in the health and well-being of our local horse industry and giving back to a group that works tirelessly to bring us together.

I’m proud to have been a part of this project and even prouder to call this community home. Whether you’re a lifelong horse owner or just getting started, I hope you’ll join me in supporting the Athens Area Horse Community and making this calendar part of your year.

At CM Bryson Photography, my passion lies in creating large-scale custom wall art and albums that capture the beauty, strength, and personality of each horse I photograph. Telling the stories of the bond each horse owner has with their horse is what keeps me going. This calendar has been one more opportunity to combine my love of photography with my commitment to supporting our local horse community.
