It can be pretty easy to glance over to the field in spring and summer, see your horse grazing away and think they are content with life, having everything they possibly need. While a horse is quite happy just being a horse, a domestic environment doesn't always offer the mental stimulation a horse needs. It is more evident that horses lack inspiration in bare muddy fields in winter.
I am thrilled to be focussing on youth horse riders in this issue. In the past couple of issues, we introduced you to a new organisation to support children with their horsemanship, and in this issue, we are excited to have the Think Like a Pony Club start a regular column for us, 'Agony Aunt', the Think Like a Pony team will answer your child's questions about their pony.
