I get quite a few horse magazines and publications....I "feel guilty" putting them out to the curb for recycling, but I know I can't keep them forever, lack of storage space...I have held onto them forever cuz I always "think" I might go back and need to look something up....Which I never do...So how does everyone else get rid of their magazines and publications???

I hoard them..Every drawer, box, and aisleway is filled with Trail Rider and Horse Illustrated...Not to mention all the pretty tear out horse posters are all over the walls.
Kidding..... My wife would kill me. She takes joy in throwing stuff out. I usually can find somebody that doesn't subscribe to them and thats where they go.
In the March issue of Horse Illustrated, the one about Mountain Horses, the poster of the Chocolate Rocky w/ flaxen mane looks dead on my wifes horse. We'll probably keep that one around.

I put them on Craig's list or yahoo's Freecycle.List them as "Free". The horse crazy will beat a path to your door and be happy to p/u.
Had some friends who listed a free bicycle on Craigslist.it got some "crazies" to their door,all right.Someone that they believe came back later and broke into their house and robbed them when they were gone.

Well we used to keep the ones we thought had a good article that we might reference later and give the others away at the boarding barn we used to manage. But now, those that we kept have become so numerous, that there are stacks of horse mags all over the house. We even had a fight about it the other day. LOL
I've let every subscription expire except Western Horseman and the AQHA mag.

I work at a local public school and put mine in the library there. Many kids and their families cannot afford those expensive magazines. Another good place is retirement homes as many of our senior people were once riders and love the connection and cannot afford the magazines either.

Ike, that is funny! We have fights about magizines too. I keep as many as I can "just in case". But I will throw out horse supply catalogs and wouldn't you know it. The next day DH wants the one I throwed out. Big fight going on and I hide my Trail Rider, etc. so he can't get a hold of them! I do take a few old ones to my local tire repair shop since I seem to be buying trailer tires a lot lately.

I have wound up with SO many,Horse Illustrated,Trail Rider,Horse & Rider,Equss,Western Horseman--ect.Tons of them.I have a lot of other magazines,too.I belong to an on-line club on Facebook where friends share housecleaning and organizational tips.My cousin who had hundreds of magazines,made a good suggestion: skim through them (QUICKLY) and cut out the articles that you know you'd like to keep for reference.Use a 3 hole punch,and,then put them in a big 3 ring binder with divider tabs.Yeah,I know,it's pretty *nal sounding,but,it would have to work for me because I can never go back through them all and read them,and,for some reason it's superhard for me to discard them without looking at them again.
