Create your own calendar
Horse & Hound Online is offering you the chance to make your own personalised calendar for 2005 with the HHO Megastore.
Simply choose your favourite image for each month from the H&H galleries, or from your own images, and they will be printed on to heavyweight A4 card along with the calendar for the relevant month. Each day has room for you to write down important events so you can plan your forthcoming season.
You can choose to start at any point in the year from January 2005 and the calendar can last from one to 12 months, up to December 2005. The pages are then bound together with wire to make a complete calendar.
The pages cost £1.99 each, which includes the cost of binding the pages together once all the pages have been prepared.
