Thrills & Spills III Review by Horse & Rider Magazine

The Much Anticipated - and Long Overdue - Release Of Thrills & Spills III On DVD

Sam Morris-Warburton of Horse & Rider Magazine writes...

Refusals, bucks, exits and crashes, Thrills & Spills III has it all - and more!

For those not used to the format of Thrills & Spills here's a little of what to expect from this popular riding clalmity and legends video.

Through the first half of the programme, the focus is on reliving many of the outstanding performances during the first decade of the century by great horses such as Totails, Headley Britannia, Shutterfly and Sea The Stars.

The presentation is excellent with fab transitions between the respective disciplines of Dressage, Eventing, Show Jumping, Racing and Hunting.

Its so refreshing to be able to hear commentary from people such as Pippa Funnell on historic rounds such as Badminton and to get an overarching perspective of the horse sports we all love.

The final section of the DVD is the spills section when jockeys and amateur riders alike do their best to defy gravity!  You can dip in and out of this great video which would make a wonderful Christmas gift or just as an addition to the family DVD collection.
