From School Library Journal
Grade 3-8-A British equestrian introduces the sport of horsemanship, covering the basics of English-style riding: seat, gaits, jumping, and exercises. Tips and instructions guide riders through the beginner-to-intermediate stages. The second half of the book covers care, feeding, tack, and showing. Numerous full-color photos, captions, and short paragraphs are scattered across each double-page spread and invite browsing. Readers are instructed to contact their local 4-H club for the address of a good riding school approved by a recognized organization. This advice may not apply, as this country lacks a single, powerful association such as the British Horse Society. Riders won't mind other British methods in the book, although some might wonder about not using a pad under the saddle. This title will provide a start for novices, who can later move on to Jane Kidd's more detailed First Guide to Horse and Pony Care (Howell, 1991).

From Booklist
Gr. 4-6. Readers curious about English riding will find answers to many of their questions in Green's excellent introduction to riding and horse care. She covers a wide variety of topics--how to choose a riding school, equipment and clothing, horse grooming, stable care (surprisingly, the young models mucking out the stalls are all smiling and immaculate), and participating in events. Bullets (in the shape of horse silhouettes) signal helpful hints on riding technique. Although intended for novices, the book also includes a section on advanced jumping. Green's style is breezy and encouraging, and the text is concise and easy to read, all of which should make the book popular with young readers. The photography is exceptional, and the layout of each double-page spread is very attractive. The models (three girls and a boy) are impeccably groomed and appear to enjoy riding immensely. An illustrated glossary, a listing of major annual riding events, and addresses of relevant associations are provided. Chris Sherman
