Show your Welsh Pony every weekend? This is your magazine.
I received a subscription of this magazine for one year and although it has its good points there were enough bad points to cause me not to renew. The magazine has tons of beautiful full color posters of beautiful horses and ponies. I really enjoyed the quizzes and short stories as well as some of the features. But my problem with this magazine was that it seems to lean towards the well-to-do little girls riding Welsh Ponies that are trained to show every weekend. I haven't read an issue yet that didn't contain an article about 'winning lots of ribbons in shows.' There is no focus on the other side of horsemanship: caring for your horse keeping up your stable and health care. It is simply assumed the 'young riders' will hand their lovely ponies away to their grooms and saunter off to hang their ribbons on the walls of their bedrooms which will presumably also have the mega posters featured in each issue of the magazine.More detail ...
