Rating: - Good video
I thought this was a good video, but limited in it's usefulness. My daughter is only 9, and I figured this would be perfect for her, but it was so brief, and was over so quickly without going into so many other details of horse life that we were both disappointed. I wish it was indicated somewhere that the video is only half an hour long. So yes, it's good, but just not what I had expected. If you go buy it, knowing that, it's different and your expectations aren't as high.

The horse show footage was exciting and well paced so we really felt like we were part of her cheering squad. Of all the horse related tapes we have purchased, this ... Read More
Rating: - Producer's note
I produced this video initially becuase my daughter became fascinated with horses and wanted to learn more about what it is like to be a young competitive rider. I was, and still am, very impressed with the professional and courteous way in which Addison Phillips - the subject of this tape - conducted herself both on camera and off. I have to remind myself that this accomplished and disciplined rider is all of 11 years old. I believe this tape reflects through Addie's example what it entails to ... Read More
