Equine and Canine News Information

The Equine & Canine News was co-founded and created by Jessica Johnson-Segal, who was fulfilling a dream while serving a need for horse and dog lovers alike.

Jessica, Nola and their sales reps attend nearly every horse and dog event in Southern California between San Luis Obispo, Ventura, Santa Barbara Counties and the San Fernando Valley to meet and greet readers, vendors, and clients.
