PONY - THE MAGAZINE FOR THE YOUNG RIDER
May 1969, Volume 20, No 238
Pony - The Magazine for The Young Rider is a lovely publication, mainly aimed at the pony-mad young girl, and these vintage magazines capture essence of the gymkhana, pony-show and riding set. Featuring pictures (b&w) from the Shows, Horse & Pony News, tips and hints on riding, Pat and Pickles strip cartoon by Elizabeth E Bailey and a short story. Edited by Lieut-Col C. E. G. Hope, there’s a lovely nostalgic feel to the magazine and its advertisements.
