I'm not a critic nor a fan of Katie Price. She enjoyed horses before she was famous, and used her money she made to and another element (she didn't change anything) to horses and horseriding. It's good. She said (shockingly I remember this) "If I encourage one little girl to take up horseriding...

It seems as if every year one of the (loose term) *newspapers* take upon themselves to rip Zara Phillips to pieces, purely because she is royal/Queen's granddaughter. Good coverage for the sport, yes, but this article made it look as if everyone was very judgemental and rude, frankly, which...

I have ridden him but on a hack where our other friend was on another horse from the riding school and he was a bit of a plod, just no need to steer, kick or stop, he did it automatically when the horse in front did it. He probably thought 'here we go again, another dunce who can't ride for...
