About this title

From Booklist:

Roughton's is a very civilized, satisfying, entertaining primer. From understanding your horse to proper technique for riding in equestrian competition, the easy-to-read, comprehensive, attractively illustrated volume covers it all. An experienced trainer of riders and horses alike, Roughton lets her love of horses and riding shine through at every turn. Her concern manifests itself in attention to such details as overcoming a horse's "boredom and stable vices" and to the appropriateness of routines or objectives for the individual horse. The book should interest both experienced and novice riders and is highly recommended both to libraries starting to collect equestrian materials and to those filling out existing holdings.
