Horsing around

Advantages: Good play value
Disadvantages: None

...Lego in and around the stables is a good addition to the Lego collection for a horse mad child. This Lego build is a Duplo Lego toy so it's suitable for a child aged 2 to 6 years old. This of course depends on your child maturity and often a younger and older child will enjoy this toy. Duplo Lego bricks are larger than a standard Lego they are compatible two 8 stud Lego bricks fit on a 4 stud Duplo brick.

Review of Lego In & Around Town: Horse Stables

Horsing Around!

Advantages: Encourages imaginative play, robust
Disadvantages: Slightly expensive

...What is it about girls and horses? I remember as a child myself being completely captivated by these creatures (probably because, despite the fact we lived on a farm, my Dad constantly told us that we categorically could NOT have a horse - something to do with them wrecking fences and not earning their keep!!) and our girls seem to have inherited this fascination. At not quite three, they are still a bit young for horse riding, but they were delighted to receive this Lego Duplo box of equine delights as a gift. This is a relatively new product - it was only launched in 2007. It contains a good variety of pieces - stable building, fences, horses, little people, pony trap, a cat, a trough and "standard" building blocks. The stable itself consists predomiantly of a large roof piece, two gable ends and two walls - so...

Regal Masta Stable Rug great fitting for the larger horse

Advantages: Superb fitting, high neck, deep pattern
Disadvantages: none found yet

...I have one of the above rugs it is in my opinion a fantastic fitting rug for the larger boned horse. Masta rugs have the deep pattern. which I think suits the larger horse The high neck on this rug is good and I find helps alleviate rug rubs I have had trouble in the past with rugs slipping as they have not been deep enough but not with this fits like a glove on my big girl. I have found this rug to be hard wearing and my horse is not careful with her rugs, lesser rugs have ended up in tatters It comes up like new when cleaned, what more could I ask for.. All in all in my opinion a rug that is worth every penny I spent on it....

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...

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...

Close the Stable Door

Advantages: You don't lose any real money
Disadvantages: has a limited attention span

...Stable Masters is a game based around my favourite sport. In case you haven't guessed from the title and subject it 's all about Horse Racing. Well not just the racing that's a small but vital part of it. Initially you start with £50,000, from this you have to buy Racehorses. There is a vast selection to choose from from 2 year-olds upward. The object of the game is quite simple amass a fortune by training the winners of the major races. The training part of the game is perhaps the most important and time consuming part. You run horses in different lengths of race and try to figure out which distance of race best suits each horse you have purchased to train. This in itself is no mean feat. After each race a small amount of info is printed at the bottom of the screen to help you decide the best ground/tactics and distance for each...

The Only Fools and Horses Review

Advantages: Oustanding performance by the Characters and a classic comedy
Disadvantages: Graphical Representation

...Only Fools and Horses could be one of the funniest programmes anyone, anywhere could watch. The Trotter family consists of two brothers Derek and Rodney(played by David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst) who live in their Nelson Mandela Flat are traders in peckham, struggling to make ends meet, but they always end up with dodgy deals, which makes this programme pure gold to watch. You will wet your pants if you were to watch Only Fools and Horses, because of the wacky adventures and dodgy deals the two brothers end up with. Derek is the more assertive, extrovert brother of the two brothers. He manages to always get him and his brother into trouble by buying 'Knocked Off' products such as inflatable dolls which are explosive! Rodeny is the more intelligent brother, he thinks things through, unlike his brother. I would recommend this...

A stable for "My little pony"

Advantages: cute toy
Disadvantages: none really

...My little pony show stable. IN 1982 Hasbro toy manufactures produced a new toy it was my little pony. Ahh my little pony was every little girls dream, oh to own a pretty pony one that had pretty hair that you could style. You could dream of winning those races with them. Take them to the beauty parlour. Put the baby pony in its nappy. These ponies were really played with like a doll more than as an animal. My daughter aged about 5 when they first came out. It was not long before she entered the dream play world of my little pony. I was in the loft last week hunting out children's toys we stored from my daughters childhood playdays to give my grand children. The first my little pony was made in ?1982. The show stable produced in 1983 my daughter a sweet 5 year old loved pretty things. I can not remember if the My little...

From the Horse's Mouth

Advantages: Very funny
Disadvantages: swearing and violence

...Charlie Owen is a new writer on the block, producing books packed full of incident, entertainment and fun. Drawing on thirty years experience as a front line copper in various forces around the country, before retiring as an Inspector in the Metropolitan Police, his stories are full of detail and insider knowledge and are as comfortable and enjoyable as a book can be. This book is set in and around a police station in one of the roughest, most unpleasant neighbourhoods imaginable. The fictional area is called Handstead, an outlying suburb of Manchester, and the station?s call sign is Hotel Alpha (HA). Given the areas reputation as a sinkhole for troublemakers and delinquent cops it has become colloquially known as Horse?s Arse ? hence the title of the book. The story concerns the activities of D Relief, a collection...

Review of Horse's Arse - Charlie Owen

Hungry Horse Menu.

Advantages: Yummy wide variety of food.
Disadvantages: None, apart from food sometimes comes in smaller portions than usual.

...Me and my family (me, my mum, and two brothers) are regulars at our local Hungry Horse. We find it an enjoyable day out, and the boys can go play in the play area. The food does not let us down either, and each time we are thoroughly pleased with our meals. I try to vary what I have but I usually opt for the same things- a starter of onion rings or garlic breaded mushrooms, a main course of the cheeseburger with chips and beans, and a dessert of either Sticky Toffee Pudding or if i'm still mega-hungry the "Ultimate Candy Mania". Now we have been coming here at least twice a month for the past five or six years, so I guess I have become a bit of an expert on the menu and on the wide variety of food that it provides. Hungry Horse really does cater for everybody in the food area, from young 'uns to the oldies who prefer a more...
