The PONY team has been chatting about unusual horsey sports. Back in the summer, Assistant Ed Sarah tried her hand at horseback archery – she loved it, and honestly, we can see why! Editor Louise is more drawn to snow polo, though she’d prefer to watch rather than play. With all that snow, there’s also the chance to build a snowman (not on the pitch, of course!) and curl up with a hot chocolate to enjoy the action. What about you – would you try one of these wintery sports, or just cheer from the sidelines?

Going on a solo adventure with your pony is so magical, right? Taking the time to enjoy those quiet, special moments can do so much for your bond – but it’s important to stay safe so you can carry on exploring together. That’s why we’ve come up with a handy way for you to remember all the essentials before heading out alone! Plus, if you’re looking to level up your flatwork, Polly the PONY mag pony shares her top tips and tricks to make sure your pony feels their absolute best while schooling!

Keeping your pony healthy starts with daily check-ins. Knowing what’s normal for them helps you quickly spot if something might be wrong, but how do you know what to look out for? In this issue of PONY mag, you’ll discover all about your pony’s vital signs, including his temperature, pulse and respiration rates – wow!

Have you ever struggled with picking out your pony’s feet? We have, too. They’re heavy to hold, and all those what ifs can make you feel nervous. No need to worry, though, because we’ve got a step-by-step guide, confidence-boosting tips, and advice on common problems, so you’ll be a total pro in no time.

This issue is packed with super-fun content, too! Test your riding and first aid knowledge, go on a scavenger hunt and pony-fy your school life with our selection of cool stationery products. And don’t forget to enter our amazing competitions – there’s a chance to win riding clothes, a massage mitt for your pony and an epic pamper bundle!
