My regular contributions included:​​* In-depth feature articles on a range of subjects.* Full-length interviews with Olympians such as Tim Stockdale, award-winning scientists, and household-name broadcasters such as Clare Balding.* Informative and engaging 'how-to' articles.* Front-of-book news, letters, and member's content pages.* Opinion pieces and essays.Testimonial from Intelligent Horsemanship Founder Kelly Marks:“Zoe Smith was editor-in-chief of the IH Magazine for 6 Years and it was a joy to work with her. Not only did she manage to keep a disparate group of writers, random contributors, and a designer in peace and some sort of order, but her articles were exceptional. Although I know her articles are in no way limited to equestrianism, the ‘Big Interviews’ she wrote for us was the best writing I’ve ever seen in any equestrian magazine.” Show less
