Synopsis

There are not many sights in sport that look more regal than that of a well-turned-out rider on a beautifully groomed horse - two fine athletes working as a single unit. There is, of course, far more to horsemanship than mounting up and slipping a pair of shiny leather boots into the irons.In easy-to-follow steps, this thoroughly illustrated, readable primer by an internationally accredited horse show judge patiently takes first-time and novice riders through the requisite paces from the simplest notions to the more sophisticated concepts of equine psychology and communication.This is an essential volume for anyone just starting out, and those wanting to take up riding.
