PONY - THE MAGAZINE FOR THE YOUNG RIDER
March 1968, Volume 19, No 224
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.

Given that the magazine is over 55 years old, its condition is very good, but certainly not perfect! The magazine pictured is the one you will receive.
