I was disappointed after receiving this book. My daughter is taking Western riding lessons and most of the book seems to be geared toward the English rider so she couldn't really relate. She could not learn correctly from it. There are a few pages that talk about Western riding but I feel it was written from an English riding perspective. I would not recommend it for the child who will be riding strickly Western.

A thoroughly "kid friendly" introduction and guide to all the basics of horsemanship, My First Horse And Pony Book: From Breeds And Bridles To Jodhpurs And Jumping is ideal for young readers, especially those learning to care for and/or ride a pony or a horse of their own. From distinguishing what horses and ponies are, to what young riders should wear, to feeding and watering their mounts, to stable care, to riding tackle, to maneuvering their mount, My First Horse And Pony Book covers ever issue arising from riding for fun or for show. Enthusiastically recommended!

This book is great for younger riders. It doesn't overwhelm the child with too much information. The illustrations are great. Real photographs of kids and horses not hand drawn pictures.

This book is full of useful informaiton

for the beginner equestrian. Great gift

for my horse obsessed granddaughter.

This book was a great buy! My 6 year old got her first pony for her birthday and this book helped her learn the basics. We would read in the car on the way to the stables.

My daughter was 4 when she got this. It is a great book to help her learn more about horses, terminology, etc. Great pictures! It was very inspiring to her!

My Daughter has a Sever Reading Handicap and only Reads on a Second Grade level. She is in Third Grade. Will be starting 4th in the fall. The book came fast and it was a great read. She had an easy time being able to read it. All the great facts were also a great help. She already had some knowledge of horses because they are her favorite subject. This book was even more informative and on the right reading level, so it was easy for her to read on her own.

Thank you very much for having the reviews and descriptions that helped us make our choice.

This book will enliven the dreams of any pony mad child. It is an action packed and easy to follow. It takes the child from first steps through to jumping in one clean swoop. The photographs are clear and beautifully presented and the ponies are immaculate.It helped my child understand the fundamental stages of riding for her lessons

I thought i would have been much more detailed and suitable for older kids too, not only about 6 year olds. In general the book looks great and is a great present for up to 10 year olds maximum. Good for the prise but doesn't actually have lots of info.I read in 10 min. The hard cover looks stunning though :P

My niece loves it. She is learning how to ride and loves anything with horses.
