etc. - The Game of Abbreviation Contemplation
$14.99
Although this game is a bit too easy for highly-educated adults, (the 3 PHDs and 2 MED's found it too easy, anyway) I think it will be great for my language-impaired high school students!

Jumps, etc.: Jumps, Dressage Arenas and Stable Equipment You Can Build
$27.95
This book is wholly in black and white and a bit thinner than I expected - however after initial aesthetic disappointment, I realised I had a pot of gold in my hands. The book has excellent diagrams, plans, descriptions and easy step by step instructions on how to assemble jumps and also stable equipment (such as mounting blocks, saddle stands and cupboards which utilise horsey gear) and tells you what materials to the last detail you will need to complete the project.

It gives you a good level of comprehension of what to expect from building jumps - and if you can't do it yourself, they provide plans that an experienced carpenter can make for you. The diagrams have measurements along them - as well as quoting them in the instructions - so you just can't get them wrong if you follow them. Nothing is made more difficult than it has to. An excellent buy that everyone making jumps wants to consider - however if you particularly want coloured images, best to give this one a miss.

Pintoy: "Playground Play Toy Set" Dollhouse Furniture Wooden Accessory Set compatible with Doll Houses from Pintoy, Plan Toys, etc.
$19.99
Set includes Climbing Frame and Swing, Horse and Elephant Slide. Compatible with Pintoy, Plantoys and most other similar sized doll houses. PINTOY products are manufactured in Thailand using rubberwood from latex plantations. The trees are cut for replanting when they no longer produce enough latex, then the wood is recovered as a by-product. Studies show that rubber plantations can be as efficient as natural forest in removing carbon-dioxide from the air, by converting it into rubber latex, soil and wood - making rubberwood an environmentally friendly choice. Pintoy provides you with quality products that are beautiful, traditional, and fun, and that provide a connection to nature through the use of wood. Pintoy toys are tested against the most stringent safety test including the European toy safety standard EN71 to ensure physical and mechanical safety.
