Jan's cynical comments:
 
Is it just me, or do you find this business of 'highlights' from people's 
performances extremely annoying?  I can understand why you might only get 
highlights from a cross-country trip, but how long is a show-jumping round or 
a dressage test?  Is it too much to ask to see a performance in its entirety?
 
I suppose the prices of the tapes are reasonable, but having 90-minute tapes 
and a 60-minute highlight reel seems a bit cheesy to me.  What's wrong with 
including a bit more so we can see full performances and have a 2-hour tape 
instead of an hour and a half?  And what's wrong with a 2-hour compilation 
from three 2-hour tapes instead of a piddly hour from three 90-minute tapes?  
But noooooo.....
 
At any rate, I promised to post the info when I saw it, so don't shoot the 
messenger.  No, I haven't purchased any videos from PHN in the past, nor do I 
recall seeing any on TV, so I have no idea of the quality of the set.  Caveat 
emptor.....
