Advantages: adjustability of the roko buckles and the machine wash Disadvantages: Blinkers are a bit square and stiff
I have this harness for my Shetland pony and find it excellent it really molds to her body shape and i think she finds it comfortable and a good fit, she goes very well in it. The roko fully adjustable buckles mean you can get the fit just right.
The only down side i would say is the bridle as the blinkers are a bit stiff and you cannot mould them to fit around the eye. I use a traditional bridle with this harness but the plasequestrian bridle would be ok to start off with with pre driving training.
The machine wash is what drew me to this, you can literally just chuck it in the wash and bung it on the line to dry, brilliant time saver - it washes well.
All round good reasonably priced harness for training and pleasure driving. ...
Advantages: great for everyone, good family entertainment Disadvantages: It can be on a long time, lucky its in two parts

Advantages: Parts of a fight scene towards the end Disadvantages: The whole piece, in front of and behind the camera
Arthurian legend is one the most famous fantasy tales ever, made even more magical by the presence of Merlin, King Arthur's magician. Some stories would have you believe different versions, with one of the more recent versions being that starring Clive Owen as Arthur, giving it more of a Crusades twist.
However, the twist on the tale here attempts to visit Arthur and Merlin many years on, taking us down a different path with the tale, and adding a modern setting to a large part of it. The trouble is, it doesn't quite come off. In fact, it's a dire representation of cinema, in many ways.
First off, the plot was immensely confusing to begin with. Scenes in modern day England greet us after a brief intro in Arthurian times, designed to explain to us what happened. We get the general gist that Arthur's evil enemy, Mordred, has used his ...
