Western Horseman Magazine was founded in January 1936 by Paul Albert Kern in Denver, Colorado. He envisioned a magazine that would appeal to both professional horsemen and hobbyists, as well as promote the Western lifestyle. The magazine soon gained popularity and moved to Fort Worth, Texas in 1948. It has been owned by Morris Communications since 1974.
