Horse Show

Book excerpt: On a rainy day or in the back seat of the car, what could be more fun to a young horse lover than an activity book packed with 80 horse-show stickers? Children will love to groom and tack up their sticker-steeds, preparing them for exciting English, Western, and Olympic events. Reusable vinyl stickers include horses of different breeds and colors; various riders, instructors, and judges; poles and jumps; and all the paraphernalia of horse shows - tack, hats, boots, costumes, barrels, dressage letters, trail obstacles, flags, and, of course, ribbons and trophies. Children arrange the stickers on background scenes that include an indoor arena, a fenced paddock, a "backstage" trailer area, and a colorful country fair with a show ring. To help children create interesting play scenes, informative text explains how horse shows work - what to wear, how to perform for the judges, the differences between Western and English events, how prizes are awarded, and much more. A short glossary reminds children of key phrases they will love to learn and teach to anyone who will listen. Ê
