Boys Ride Too Magazine

Welcome to Issue 20. We hope that you have had a fantastic spring and are looking forward to the long holidays and lots of fun with ponies!

We are delighted to bring you an interview with Dr David Marlin, who knows (almost) everything there is to know about horses and science. He is a research scientist & horse rider and we are so pleased that he and his team will be writing for us in future issues.

We also have a brilliant feature on galloping from Horses Inside Out which shows you with scientific artwork, what is going on inside your horse or pony, when you are having fun going fast.

In this issue you can learn about In-hand Showing, Barrel Racing and Dressage as well as some important information on riding in balance, safety at stay away shows, and how to make sure your pony is as happy as possible with where he lives.

You can meet some of our readers from outside the UK and learn about horses in Mongolia, an amazing country of horses. And you can read about Ollie, and Sebastian who are both very young guys, making a living in the horse industry.
