Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an extensive guide to riding for women. It goes beyond basic instruction, covering specific emergencies and how women can prepare for and handle them. The author, who is a seasoned horsewoman, warns that many girls begin riding too young, before they have the strength and judgment to truly manage a horse, which can lead to injury and psychological consequences. She advises waiting until a girl is at least 16 to start riding, and emphasizes that proper riding form isn't taught widely enough. This book hopes to emphasize the importance of correct riding form as the means to better stability, control, riding experience, and safety. The writer urges women to seek out instruction and strive towards perfection, not only for gracefulness but also for better health, digestion, and sleep.
