Horse Illustrated (1-year)

Faithful Subscriber No More

I have been a subscriber to Horse Illustrated for many years and have always praised it. The magazine was originally published with well written and thoughtful articles that covered both Western and English ridding general horse care and gave very helpful tips. But within the past couple of years the quality of the publication has gone downhill.



Not only has the magazine thinned out but the articles have become biased and poorly written. Adds and articles promoting a single product occupy more of the magazine than ever before and the shift from a well rounded equine magazine to 'snob mag' is quite clear. The majority of the magazine is now aimed towards the English rider with an eye for fashion. What where once helpful tips have now become one sided suggestions.



This magazine would be a welcome addition for a horse-crazy teen who is more likely to have a new car than a horse. But if you are looking for something with a bit more substance advice and general tips this is not the magazine for you.More detail ...
