Sharing H&R

I’ve enjoyed Horse&Rider for years. I’m 55 years old and have loved horses all my life. When I was younger, my two sisters and I shared two ponies that we broke to ride ourselves. Being kids, we didn’t know anything about cues and collection, and I confess I still don’t really master those elements of riding, but still thoroughly love horses. I have three Quarter Horses and do as much trail riding as I can while working two jobs, as I am sure many people do nowadays just to make ends meet and feed our passion—horses. Being so busy, I almost canceled my subscription, not because I didn’t like the magazine, but because I find so little time these days to read it. However, the articles have always been so informative and educational. I read it cover to cover and then share it with my friend’s barn boarders who are a varied lot from young girls to older women like myself riding all breeds of horses and mules. When I heard Horse&Rider was merging, I was apprehensive, but you have very interesting, diverse articles and writers, and I still love the magazine. Thanks to all the writers, editors, managers, and whoever else behind the scenes who put together such a great magazine. I’m renewing my subscription, and I’ll read each issue when I can and share them with others.
