In as little as a single weekend, aspiring equestrians can begin a lifetime of enjoyment with help from this fully illustrated beginners’ guide. From getting to know the horse to improving balance and coordination, every step in the novice rider’s education is patiently explained. The topics include building a bond of friendship and trust between horse and rider, the parts of a horse and its equipment, understanding the horse’s behavior, working with an instructor, safety issues, and basic health and grooming. Each lesson builds upon the ones before, so new riders gain confidence quickly. And once these riding basics have been mastered, it’s time to move onto more advanced training, including pole work, cross-country riding, and even learning to jump.
