Mountain Horse Sportive High Rider

Advantages: Comfortable & Durable
Disadvantages: None

...I have been wearing Mountain Horse boots for years now including the ever popular 'Cheetah' boot. I have always ridden in a pair of long leather boots and normally the zips have either gone on them or the stitching which is quite frankly damn annoying! When I bought another horse about 2 years ago I decided to treat myself to a new pair of long leather boots but something which is a bit more durable and hardwearing. I dont know why I never thought of Mountain Horse before! It might be because alot of their boots are quite chunky. Anyway Mountain Horse hadnt had the Sportive High Rider out for long and I had a look and went into my local saddlers to try them to see what they were like, I was smitten. They were so comortable and fitted really well, I have slim legs and normally I get a gap at the back of the boot but not with these...

Horse and Rider

Advantages: So much to offer
Disadvantages: It's only once a month

...I have been subscribing to Horse and Rider magazine for about 2 years now. It has so much to offer. Every month i can't wait for it to come through the post. The magazine costs:£3.10 a month, which when you think about it, is not really that much! My favorite parts every month is the "Ask the experts" section and also the "Horse directory". Readers can write in with there equine and riding problems and the experts do there best to offer advise. The horse directory includes horses for sale, diary date, desperatly seeking, Notice bored and equine items for sale. I must say that i think the desperatly seeking section is a very good idea, it is for people who have sold or been parted from their horses/ponys and that would like information on them, just to know how they are getting on and stuff. It is free to advertise your horse...

Advice for Horse Riders (especially parents!)

Advantages: Healthy, rewarding sport with many possibilities
Disadvantages: Possible cost

...the hands (and hooves) of the insructor/school you choose.. You can whittle down the number of schools to visit through a phone call, any respectable school will enquire about the rider´s ability, age, height and weight. You must never book a lesson without being assured you are going to be ´matched´with the correct horse, in the correct lesson. First, pay an unnanounced visit - does the place look clean (stick your nose over a stable door - if it is filthy - leave. Second, do the horses look happy, healthy (definately not skinny with their ears back and seem to hate people). Do they look as if a brush has been near them that day ? have they got access to clean, fresh water ? - all these things constitute a happy horse, a happy horse is much more likely to want to please you, and it means the owner knows how to care for the animals. It...

Review of horse riding

Oh No, Not another horse review!

Advantages: Glossy photos, interesting.
Disadvantages: Fairly expensive.

...Another horse related review you must be thinking. Ok, but they do take up a large part of my life. Anyway, it is not strictly a review regarding horses, but one of a glossy magazine. I don`t buy many magazines as I usuallly just read them at work, or the dentist rather than pay for them (stingy or what!). Primarily I don`t really have the time. Anyway, those I do buy I tend to take them into work afterwards for someone else to read. I enjoy reading magazines occassionally to relax and catch up on things. The Horse and Rider magazine I find is very informative. What is Horse and Rider. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Horse and Rider is a monthly magazine aimed at those interested in horses and equestrian activity. It has around 180 pages packed with colour photos, rider advice, product reviews, reader letters, horse...

Review of Playmobil Equestrienne (Pony and Rider)

Only fools and horses

Advantages: great fun and lots of laughter
Disadvantages: not enough episodes

...Only fools and horses began its life in 1981, penned by John Sullivan, who also wrote Citizen Smith. The seven series, (and 19 Christmas specials) lasted through till 2003 and revolved around two main characters, Derek (Del)Trotter, (played by David Jason) and his younger brother Rodney, (played by Nicholas Lyndhurst), they lived at 23 Nelson Mandela house, a block of high rise flats in Peckham and drove a bright yellow three wheeled van with 'Trotters Independent Traders' painted on it. Derek, or Del boy as everyone knew him, was a trader of sorts, ducking and diving through life, buying and selling anything he and his brother Rodney could get there hands on. Rodney, however, was the more law abiding of the two, always being dragged into Dels tricks. Other Characters Grandad...

Horse Riding in the wild west of Spain!

Advantages: Great horses and people, lovely views, close to airport and village.
Disadvantages: Very hot in August, definitely need a hire car.

...I was looking on the internet one day for a Horse Riding holiday in Spain. I found a couple, but none that really interested me. Then I went on ebay and just typed in "Horse Riding Spain". (I didnt want to spend ages on there!!!). There was a listing on there that interested me. The listing said they do riding in the mountains and desert. I didnt know Spain had a desert! I had rode before in the costa del sol but although where I rode was very nice, I was only allowed to ride in the arena. The roads were much to dangerous to go out and the school only catered for holidaymakers who were beginners. I wanted to find somewhere I could ride out and see the area. I would class myself as a confident rider, but could not ride a horse that was too strong or excitable. The first thing I did was too study their advert and I saw they...

PALE RIDER

Advantages: Tasty, easy-to-drink
Disadvantages: I can't think of a single one

...Mrs P and I had a couple of nights break down in North Yorkshire a few weeks ago, and very nice it was too. But that's as never-no-mind. The only reason I'm mentioning it is because while there, I hunted down a few rare, and not-so-rare samples of the local produce, beer-wise, that is. One of the less rare beers was PALE RIDER, which I could've bought at my local store, but I didn't. I think the fact that traipsed nearly 200 miles to buy it (not specifically, of course) proves my dedication to the cause. The KELHAM ISLAND BREWERY of Sheffield began life in 1990 and in fact, was the first new independent brewery to be built in the city this century. Since then all of Sheffield's larger brewing concerns have closed down, which ironically (no pun intended) now also makes it Sheffield's largest brewery. Using only the finest...

Review of Pale Rider

from the horse's mouth

Advantages: Some tracks of a newer style for Nickelback
Disadvantages: one or two weaker tracks (but what album doesn't?!)

...Dark Horse is the 2008 album release from Canadian rock band Nickelback. It is their 6th album, the other 5 being: Curb (1996) The State (1998) Silver Side Up (2001) The Long Road (2003) All the Right Reasons (2005) Now, Nickelback tends to be one of those groups people know they've heard of, but can't think of many, if any of their songs. Nickelback's best know tracks, at least in England are How you Remind Me (released in 2001 from their Silver Side Up album), Photograph and Rock Star (released 2005 and 2006 respectively, both from their All the Right Reasons album). A very very quick history of the band as this is a review of the album, not the band. Nickelback is composed of four men, two of whom are brothers. There is Chad Kroeger ? lead vocals, rhythm guitar Ryan Peake ? lead guitar, backing vocals Mike Kroeger ? bass guitas...

Review of Dark Horse - Nickelback

The "Dark Horse" Of Music

Advantages: Highly varied. Something for everyone
Disadvantages: Ballads off-putting

..."Dark Horse" is the sixth album from the alternative rock band from Canda, Nickelback. This 2008 relase, came after the great success which they accomplished from the initial, and re-reease of "All the Right Reasons", which came out in 2005. Despite having numerous hits over the years, "Rockstar" amy have hindered the group as the big tune quickly got annoying to many listeners, and so with this album, they attempt to re-create the success which they had prior when that track came out. 1. "Something In Your Mouth" Although I haven't heard it on the radio (due to the fact I would never go onto a station which would play them), this was the mildly successful second single by the band, and it has them go for a Hard Rock track, where their lyrical content is largely adult-themed. I really enjoyed it, and I expect that had it received...
