Having ridden with Gayle Lampe and shown in front of her before, I found this book to be full of useful information. I am a riding instructor and wish that all my students would read this book. Full of photos, this book is an excellent read for beginners and experts alike. This is a "must buy" for anyone in the horse world, not just saddleseat riders.

This book could be considered a "maunal" for someone wanting to learn to ride Saddle Seat correctly, in its true art form. This book also covers many aspects of being a good horseman and the skills it passes are all generally applicable to all horses and styles of riding. This book is one of only 4 books that I highly recommend to my students.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent book for novice horse owners, covering all basics, September 25, 1999

As someone new to the horse world, I found this book to be very insightful, taking nothing for granted, and explaining all the details on care, grooming and even riding tips. Illustrations and photos were also nice. Very readable, very concise. Being written by a college professor was also helpful compared to others that I have read.
