Pippa Funnell author of Tilly's Tails
Many of our readers at horserugs.me.uk will know Pippa Funnell; quite rightly regarded as one of the equestrian world’s greatest sports stars. And on the weekend that once again plays host to the The Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials, it is worth remembering that Pippa Funnell is the only person ever to have won the three day eventing Rolex Grand Slam securing back-to-back victories at Kentucky, Badminton and Burghley.
Pippa Funnell has shown as much dynamism off the horse as she has shown on it. Not only has she put pen to paper and written her compelling autobiography but she has also sought to share her knowledge on how to train, exercise and jump horses in a wonderful series of books that are available in our Pippa Funnell Store.
At horserugs.me.uk we feel we sometimes take things a little bit too seriously. There are times when even we must stop researching about all things horse rugs and enjoy ourselves a little. It’s at these times when we reach for our Nintendo DS and fire up Pippa Funnell: Take the Reins. If you love horses you’ll love this.
We want you to find out for yourself how good it is. You get a chance to care for your horse, something we here at horserugs.me.uk feel very strongly about.
The game takes place in a training academy where you can practice your dressage, show jumping, cross country or chat with your class mates. If your class mates like you, you look after your horse well and your riding improves then you’ll be entered into an event with the big aim of getting into the championship! As if that’s not enough then you’ll get a new born foal to play with, look after and train! Brilliant for spending even more hours inside playing with horses when you’re not outside being with them!
There are plenty more Pippa Funnell horse and pony video games out there and we’re sure that there is one for everyone! Why don’t you give one and go and let us know how you got on!
