5.0 out of 5 stars I learned at my own pace ,it felt like a trainer was there, October 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Basic Horsemanship (Revised) (Doubleday Equestrian Library) (Paperback)

I'm a twelve year old rider. I just started to learn to ride. I wanted to learn to ride better and faster since my riding lessons are only once a week. I think that the book helped me a great deal. I got to learn at the pace I felt comfortable with.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book was fantastic in teaching me how to ride., June 19, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Basic Horsemanship (Revised) (Doubleday Equestrian Library) (Paperback)

I am a 14 year old who read this book a year ago to help me with my showing that season. It improved my riding greatly. I couldn't get lessons at the time, but now I am proud to have learned how to ride all by myself and to be good enough to win a couple ribbons. I owe it greatly to this book. It is the best book on riding that I have ever read.

By A Customer

This review is from: Basic Horsemanship (Revised) (Doubleday Equestrian Library) (Paperback)

This is an awesome book teeling just about everything you need to know about basic riding! The index is full of pictures about tack, brushes and parts of the horse! It seems like you have a trainer right there with you helping you along the way, going at your pace! It is a great book for all!
