This is an excellent book for anyone who is just starting out eventing and also for people who are already competing. I love the way it's laid out with each section colour coded so you can find the information easily...The book is full of fantastic photographs and I especially like the helpful tips. These are set out in coloured boxes for diet, vet, groom etc which all help to make the book really informative and easy to read...a great book which will appeal to all ages, young or old, and well worth the money. --Your Horse
