Review Roundup: August 7th - September 1st · 11:06pm Sep 3rd, 2017
Those of you who keep up with my blog, One Man's Pony Ramblings, already know that I recently spent two weeks on vacation, and was fortunate enough to get a bevy of talented horsewordsmiths to fill in with a mix of reviews, advice, and even a little commentary while I was gone. And if you don't keep up with my blog... well, if it's because you don't care for my reviews, then this sounds like the kind of fortnight that's just made for you! So head down below the break to see some of my stuff, and a whole lot of even better material:
