Awesome mag for kids!!!great buy!lots of good articles,even if you don't have a horse of your own. Always has cool posters and stories that kids can relate to. Don't hesitate to buy this mag for any horseloving kid!Fun way to learn interesting things and facts about horses that you never knew. it's packed with contests too!only downside is that it is a bi-monthly mag (so good I wish it came more often!). Once again, it's a great choice for any child interested in horses.

Young Rider is a great magazine for the beginner- the articles are very simple and easy to understand. They have great posters, but there's usually an article on their backside. There are ads lining almost every page; there isn't nearly as much content as there used to be. The average YR magazine has about 60 pages/9 articles, which usually have half-page pictures. I'd reccomend a magazine such as Practical Horseman or Horse Illustrated for anyone over 13. But, for a young horselover, it's a very helpful resource. There's several pages displaying readers' pictures and stories, along with a few step-by-step articles. Things like coloring and markings are discussed in detail, and many famous events (like the Rolex Kentucky) are reported on. For the completely new English and Western rider, it would make a great gift.

I absolutely love this magazine because it's hours of fun for someone who's looking for a great magazine, plus it's informational and fun for the horse-owning kid. If you've read 'Blaze Magazine', you probably know that it's good, but it's not very realistic and VERY short. Young Rider gives information on the proper way to care for your horse, games, colorful photos, and the do's and don't's of the equine world. The authors are dedicated to let kids learn more about horses, they have a short story every issue about special kid and a horse, and a new quiz every issue. Although tons of kids (especially little girls) LOVE horses, I don't recommend it to kids who don't own a horse of their own. I think that in order to enjoy this great magazine, you should have your own horse. There are many great articles that I have to say are really helpful to the horse-owning kid, like how to care for your horse when the temperature is very, very cold, or very, very hot, but I don't think it would mean very much to people without a horse. Anyway, this is a fantastic magazine that I have to give AT LEAST five stars. I read every issue over again until it's falling apart, that's how much I love this magazine. Plus, if you don't know if you should order the whole subscription yet, you can always pick up the latest copy at your local riding store and see how you like it. If you do, it's definately worth a year's subscription. Two "hooves" up! : )

Hey everyone!
I think that 'young rider' is the BEST horse magazine for kids. My little sister likes all the pics. I love all of the articles and pics. too! I shoped around for a horse magazine for it seemed like forever and now I found one. The only thing that I don't like a lot but don't mind is all the show stuff. I like shows and everything but they have it maybe a little to much, but other then that its GREAT!

This magazine is pretty good for the price. The issues are big, there are lots of breed, show, and tack articles, along with contests and opportunities to donate to equine funds. There aren't many ads and there are a ton of pictures, and a lot of the articles are fun. However, I wish this weren't bi-monthly, and though the articles are fun they can get really simple and dull after a while for older readers. I'm fourteen, but the other form doesn't work. Back to the point, it is also more aimed to the show and horse-owning set, like the one reviewer pointed out. There isn't much on horse care and safe riding, or any assurance that the best horse isn't always that fluffy blue-ribbon pony. That's why it gets three stars.
