This practical introduction for beginners includes a series of clearly illustrated riding lessons designed to increase confidence and improve ability by gradually building riding skills. A combination of full-color photographs and explicit line drawings makes it easy to follow along with the text, reinforcing dos and don'ts and correcting some of the most common mistakes in horse and rider. Moving from such basics as mounting, dismounting, starting, and stopping, riders are taken "through their paces" and taught the rudiments of jumping and dressage. Other sections cover training your horse or pony, home schooling, setting off on excursions, and handling first-aid emergencies. With its straightforward approach to correcting problems, practicing paces, and refining skills, even more experienced riders can learn from this comprehensive equestrian guide. An entire chapter entitled "Improve Your Riding" deals with exercises in the arena, solving jumping defects, rider fitness, more. 8 1/4" x 12". Color photos & illus.
