"What if all the riding you've ever done has been on the East Coast and now you find yourself in Wyoming? How are you supposed to sit in a Western saddle and how are you supposed to hold the reins? Or what if you've ridden all your life and then suddenly you get your first invitation to go fox hunting? What is the protocol? Or what if you've just started learning to ride? This book will tell you all the things you should know. There are sections on Western riding, on English riding -- both hunt seat and saddle seat, and on horse shows and fox hunting. Each section contains a discussion of tack, attire, and general etiquette appropriate to that type of riding. There are also sections on group riding, riding in a ring, and trail-riding competition. Included throughout are guidelines for keeping both you and your horse out of trouble, for one important purpose of many rules of etiquette is just that -- to protect the horse and rider. Riding is a source of pleasure but it is also an art. And no matter what type of riding you do, it is based on a tradition which gives it much of its beauty. By becoming part of that tradition, you can experience some of the real meaning of the sport.". Seller Inventory # 4083f
