Geared for youngsters, but helpful for riders of any age.
Available also in German, this book explains how to catch the horse before riding it, how to put the bridle and saddle on, how to take them off, what to expect during the first rides, how to ask a horse to do whatever, how to swim on a horse, and much more. The reader learns to control the horse (called "Primo") by considering the overall picture from Primo's point of view. This book tells, in a conversational way, how to do things. Then it explains why. (For example, it explains how saddles -- even stock seat saddles -- differ and why Primo may or may not need various parts of a bridle.) It even explains the significance, as riders, of structural differences between boys and girls.
