More About the Author

Cherry Hill is an award-winning author of over 30 books and videos and over 1000 articles on horse training and care.

Cherry was a horse show judge for 25 years for several national breed organizations. She also taught college equine courses from 1975-1985 in the US and Canada, including Olds College in Alberta, Canada and Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado. Cherry instructed courses such as Horse Behavior, Ground Training, Mounted Training, Western Horsemanship, English Equitation, Riding Instructor Training, Equine Evaluation, Stable Management, and Equine Production.

Cherry has been a free-lance equine photo-journalist since 1975 and has written for such publications as Horse & Rider, The Quarter Horse Journal, The Chronicle of the Horse, the American Farrier's Journal, The Horse Journal, Western Horseman and over 20 other national equine publications.

Cherry Hill received the Colorado Authors' League Top Hand Award twice for her books. The Top Hand award is one of the most distinguished writing awards in the regions with competition from fiction and non-fiction books on any topic. Cherry received the CAL Top Hand Award in 1995 for 101 Arena Exercises and in 1999 for 101 Horsemanship and Equitation Patterns.

In 1994 the American Farriers Association presented Cherry with their Journalism Award for meritorious service in collecting, editing, and presenting information of interest to farriers.

Cherry was the recipient of the 1992 American Horse Publications first place award for editorial excellence in the category Service to the Reader for a series she wrote on liability in the equine industry.

In 2002, Cherry Hill was the recipient of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) Henry Bergh Children's Book Honor in the Non-Fiction Companion Animal Category for her book Cherry Hill's Horse Care for Kids. It was selected for its outstanding ability to teach young readers a new way to care for animals and natural resources that we all share.

3.0 out of 5 stars Red Ribbon, September 18, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Beginning Western Exercises (Arena Pocket Guides) (Spiral-bound)
I thought the book was good over all, it had good suggestions on things to do, but In the first Exercise the Halt it says " the halt should be square and balanced" So how do you accomplish that? I thought that half the lesson and been left out.

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved this book!, December 21, 1998
This review is from: Beginning Western Exercises (Arena Pocket Guides) (Spiral-bound)
If you have just begun western riding- like me, you will love this book. I had been riding English for 6 years, and found that western was a bit differant. This book helped me get my balance and courage. I really reccomemend this book!

1.0 out of 5 stars Useless, May 28, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Beginning Western Exercises (Arena Pocket Guides) (Spiral-bound)
This book is completely useless for someone learning western riding. It has detailed exercise description with no information about how to actually do them. For example, several pages are dedicated to walk-jog-walk exercises, with no description about how to get a horse to transition from a walk to a jog and from a jog to a walk.

For the circle exercises the advice it to "use your inside leg to activate the inside hind leg (I assume of the horse)" -- but HOW?

I learned nothing from this book and it was a complete waste of money.
