This is not what I expected: it's home movies of various riders, those who can afford expensive getaways abroad & here in the States. And ads. And mostly about gaited horses. Blah blah blah...best mag out there for horse people is "Horse & Rider."

just kinda a mediocre magazine, low quality paper, content is boring, graphics are boring, nothing in the issues that make me want to keep them beyond the first flip through. There are others that are better.

I ride strictly for pleasure and mostly on trails. I like to know about training my horse for the trails and what areas of the country have wonderful trails so this magazine is my favorite horse magazine out of the 4 I receive each month. I bought my horse as a young foal and trained him a lot from the ground, exposing him to things I saw in this magazine so when he was old enough, he would be a great trail horse. No regrets here. The trainer kept him 45 days and marveled at how easy he was to train.

Other great horse magazines in my mind are the Horse Journel, John Lyon's Perfect Horse, Horse Illustrated and Horse and Rider and through them, I stay up to date on training, products and horse care. Only Trail Rider gives me locations to ride at across the United States of America.Horse Illustrated (1-year auto-renewal)Horse & Rider (1-year auto-renewal)Horse Journal (1-year auto-renewal)

The first year he asked for it as one of his gifts. He enjoyed it enough to ask it to be renewed the next. He has Western Pleasure Quarter Horse breeding mares. Along w/ some he rides.
