LEARN HOW TO RIDE A HORSE
A step-by-step riding course from getting started to achieving excellence, illustrated in more than 550 practical photographs
Debby Sly
Riding horses is an age-old pleasure but one that can’t be taken lightly. People who want to take up this wonderfully satisfying sport, and those who wish to improve their skill, will find this comprehensive and responsible book both inspiring and informative, with over 550 clear photographs and authoritative advice for beginner and expert alike.
Divided into two sections, Learning to Ride tells you what you need to know to get started including sitting correctly, dismounting and adjusting tack. The author then proceeds to slightly more advanced skills, such as how to achieve bend and flexion before introducing simple jumps and cross-country riding.
The World of the Horse is a fascinating introduction to the world of competition and international horse shows – both to watch and participate in. Throughout, the text is down-to-earth with plenty of opportunities given to practise techniques at home, both on and off the horse.
