I bought this for my niece for her birthday and she loves it. She rides daily and is active in 4H, and was really excited to have a magazine about young people and horses.

i have been subscribing to "young rider" for 4 years now. my grand daughter has loved this magazine from the begining. she saves all the pictures & posters. she even takes the magazine to horse shows to be autographed by "stars" she reads about. our family has standardbreds,so she has always been around horses and she has developed a love and understanding and a talent in the show ring. this magazine has contributed to her growth.

The Young Rider is the BEST horse magazine for kids. It encourages horse lovers to love horses even more. It has great tips on riding English and Western saddle. It publishes letters that readers sent in the magazine. Young Rider also advertizes horse camps, tack, and riding clubs. Every magazine has two HUGE posters. My room is full of them. It talks about horse problems and how to cure them, horse breeds, stories, quizez, comics, and LOTS LOTS LOTS MORE! It is good for kids 5-15 and is great even if you are not a horse lover. All my freinds love this magazine! I loke this magazine! WHY CAN'T YOU!!! You will NOT be disipointed. So what are you waiting for? SUBSCRIBE NOW!!!

Young Rider Full of Ads

2006-07-13
I purchased subscriptions to both "Ask" and "Muse" for my daughter (9 years old) and am thrilled at the lack of advertising in those magazines. I subscribed to "Young Rider," as my daughter is very much a horse lover. I was dismayed to find it full of advertisements. And not only that, but poor quality ads, irresponsible ads perpetuating gender stereotypes (e.g., males do not wear pink) and blatant consumerism ("From hoof to toe, wear the brand.") While I'm using the magazine as a means for teaching media literacy, we certainly will not be resubscribing. As to the content, it does seem informative, especially for a beginning rider, though the writing is not particularly compelling. And the articles are hard to find amidst all the marketing, making it visually confusing. While my daughter picked up her first issue of "Ask," sat down and did not get up until she'd read it cover to cover, she picked up "Young Rider," glanced through it, tossed it back down and has not yet returned to her first issue. And this is a child who is horse crazy -- not much of a testimonial for a horse magazine!

Perfect for horse crazy kids

I read Young Rider as a tween and love the magazine. It's a definite must have even for kids who don't own a horse.

Great fo Kids Who Love Horses

My daughter loves horses and to ride and this gives her something to look foward to. She loves the posters.

Awesome magazine for kids!

Daughter received her first issue of Young Rider Magazine and she loves it! She reads it from cover to cover. She has plastered the posters all over her room. The articles are fun to read. Pictures are beautiful. Even I(her mom) enjoys reading it. Only downfall is that it is only a bi-monthly magazine.

Perfect for young girls

I ordered Young Rider for my 10 yr old niece. She just received her first copy and when I saw her next, she ran up to me with a BIG hug and Thanks! She said what she loves the most about it is that it covers both English and Western styles of riding. She wants to become a barrel racer, yet English riding intrigues her, so I'm glad I got it for her!
From her response to receiving her first issue, I'd have to say: Money well spent and she LOVES it.

Fun for Awhile

This magazine is fun for young girls (7-10) who love horses, but it's not so great after the first year. The posters are great, but what does one do with them all? It's hard to throw away a poster of a horse! The information is good, but there is lots of advertising. Lots of great photos.
