Synopsis
Recreational horse riding is one of the fastest growing of all sports, and at last there's a guide that makes training as much fun as riding itself! Master the basics of choosing the right horse, learn to be safe in the saddle, communicate well with your horse, keep up with your friends on the trail, and enjoy the pleasures that riders have known for centuries. Beautiful full-color photos on every page show you exciting action mixed with close-ups of every technique you need to know. You'll become familiar with both the physiology and psychology of your horse. Equipment also gets a whole chapter--yours, and your horse's. So does taking command the way your horse wants you to, including the proper way to saddle and bridle, and grooming methods that promote bonding. Then comes the thrill of riding, including beginning exercises, walking, trotting, and galloping, and soon you'll experience the indescribable adventures that only a rider can know. 144 pages (all in color), 7 1/4 x 9 5/8.

Language Notes

Original Language: German
From School Library Journal
Grade 5 Up-An outstanding selection for both beginning- and intermediate-level equestrians. In an organized, attractive, and accessible manner, the book covers the realities of becoming a rider. Beautiful full-color photographs, clear illustrations, and modern layout features (plenty of white space and sidebars) will draw in browsers; the straightforward yet conversational tone of the text will further corral readers. Primarily covering the English styles of riding, the book also includes a chapter on Western riding and a basic explanation of the differences between the two. Excerpts from Binder's own riding diary recount the ups and downs that many beginners experience. A useful worksheet helps readers itemize the expenses involved in riding lessons and in owning and keeping a horse. This book is an excellent choice for its content, but even more for its readability.
