the handbook of riding essentials,
This review is from: The Handbook of Riding Essentials (Hardcover)
I liked this book so well, I read it twice. The illustrations are extremely helpful for the novice rider. The book takes you step by step through the basics all the way through advanced manuvers. It was easy reading with understandable explanations. Take the book to the arena with you for a quick guide for excersises and reminders. I can't say enough good things about this book.

Perfect for ALL Levels!,
By Flame_926 "flame_926" (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Handbook of Riding Essentials (Hardcover)
OK: Out of everything that you may have looked at, buy this book! You will definitely not regret it. This book breaks riding down into beginning, intermediate, and advanced; all in different bulleted sections on the same page. That way you can read any level description and actually see where it's going. I especially like the hand-drawn pictures on every page which are clear and concise. Not only does he tell you what to do, but the pictures show you how to do it: exact positions of hands and legs are drawn on every page! The entire book is presented in a logical manner and is very easy to follow. The author knows exactly what he's talking about and is sure to help you too!

I started riding as an adult and found this book very valuable. The illustrations are large, easy to follow and very helpful. Its a book you can refer to over and over again.
