The judges shared the following comments about Horse Illustrated’s first-place award for the article “Help for Hard-Working Equines” by Kim MacMillan, which was about the organization Brooke USA:

“An eye-opening piece of journalism about a noble effort. It is good to present the plight of equines in the developing world with matter-of-fact writing, describing the history of the cause without resorting to sensationalism. It is still a sad story, but one with a hopeful ending thanks to the organization so well portrayed.”
