however, is in its type.
Headlines and standing logos for the magazine are laboriously put together for each issue by Mr. Millham using transfer letters. And, unlike most magazines or newspapers, copy for The Horse Of Kings is not typeset. Instead it comes straight from the Millhams’ IBM computer printer.
“At $20 to $40 a page, having copy typeset is beyond our modest budget,” says Mrs. Millham.
Some publication money for The Horse Of Kings comes from subscribers, newsstand sales and advertisements, but a certain amount also has to come from the Millhams’ pockets to help the magazine break even.
Besides working on the magazine, both the Millhams have fulltime jobs. Mr. Millham works as an electrical engineer for IBM in Manassas. Mrs. Millham boards, schools and trains several horses at Avilion Farm and also teaches about 20 students each week.
“It gets interesting with the time we have to spend at work, and the time we have to spend on the magazine,” says Mrs. Millham. “Sometimes we ask ourselves why we’re doing it!”
But, Mrs. Millham, who is now 31, has been interested in horses ever since she was a child growing up in Fauquier County and is dedicated to her interest and promoting it to other horsepeople.
Since birth, Mrs. Millham has been handicapped by having only one arm. But that never discouraged her from riding, only limited the type of riding she could do. Her primary interest in horses has always been dressage, something that Andalusians and Lusitanos are particularly well-suited for.
“I have to have a .horse that moves lightly, because of my physical limits,” explains Mrs. Millham. “I like a horse that is as sensitive as a thoroughbred to ride and like a Welsh pony on the ground.”
While learning dressage in the early 1970s, Mrs. Millham found it difficult to find a trainer because of her handicap.
One day, however, she was introduced to Nino Oliveira, a world-renowned teacher and trainer of baroque dressage from Portugal. At Mr. Oliveira’s urging, Mrs. Millham went to Portugal to learn this form of dressage.
