Pony Magazine | PONY Magazine – May 2025
The marvellous May issue of PONY magazine is here!
This month, the whole team has been extra busy reading all of your incredible short story competition entries. You’re all so talented – not only were there more entries than ever before, but it was soooooo hard to choose just one winner for each category! Well done to everyone who sent in their story, we’ve had so much fun reading them. Our nine and under category winner is in this issue and we’ll reveal the 10 and over next month!
Riding with friends is sooo much fun, but it can feel quite daunting – especially if your pony is feeling excited or you're in a super busy arena! In this issue, we reveal our tips and some simple school rules to help build your confidence riding in a group. Don’t forget to check out our creative ideas for changing the rein, too, so you can mix up your schooling sessions, and follow our guide to riding on grass (yes, it’s finally that time of year!) so you can get the most from your pony.
Just like us, ponies have different personalities, some are bold and brave while others take a more laidback approach to life! What’s your pony’s personality? We share the telltale signs and tips on how to build a strong bond. Plus, Harlow explains how to keep your pony mobile, whether you ride him or not, and our feeding guide will help you understand the different requirements ponies have!
In this issue, you can also test your riding skills and grooming know-how, learn how to make delicious horseshoe cookies and win some amazing prizes!
