The author has done a great job of giving necessary and imposrtant information,without giving lots of excessive and unnecessary information.

This book was excellent. The author made it very easy to read. The text flowed smoothly and I think I read the whole book in about 5 hours. She explained a lot of things about showing that people get intimidated to ask their trainers. She had sections on what to pack in your trunk, what the different show classes were, what to look for at a show as a spectator, and then what classes to enter, etc. I was very pleased with the book and will recommend it to everyone at the barn.

This book is a wonderful teaching tool to get you into showing or even for someone who already shows.

This book is extremely helpful for the first time show person. The check lists of what to pack I found to be good helpers. The info on what the judges are looking for in the types of classes was most helpful in helping focus my preperation.

I bought this book to prepare for my first show season. I flipped through it and was immediately impressed at the seemingly varied amount of information included. Once I sat down with it and read it cover to cover, I had learned very little beyond what I already knew.
This would be a good book for someone who hasn't started riding yet, but then again, why even think about showing before you've even started lessons? Hunter Seat Equitation, by George Morris would be a much better investment that would get you closer to winning in a show ring faster than this book ever would.

I think this a great book. It's great for any level rider. It's helped me prepare for my first show. It can help you review and or learn. 5 stars
