PONY - THE MAGAZINE FOR THE YOUNG RIDER
August 1969, Volume 21, No 241
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.

Condition: The magazine is in very good vintage condition, showing some creasing to the covers, evidence of reading wear. A delivery address is written on the front cover. Given that the magazine is over 50 years old, its condition is very good, but certainly not perfect! The magazine pictured is the one you will receive.
