Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal
Grade 4 Up-Despite its high-flown subtitle, this book really presents the usual basic principles and practices of good horsemanship. In a matter-of-fact, somewhat dry tone, Davis leads readers through the hows and whys of learning to ride and care for a horse that stress safety and consideration for the animal. Plenty of photographs and illustrations show both the fun and work that the sport can provide. A final chapter discusses equestrian activities and competitions. The depth of coverage is somewhat unique, offering more than Lucinda Green's Riding (DK, 2000) and less than Sibylle Luise Binder's Riding for Beginners (Sterling, 1999). Double-spaced text results in an open look. Readers eager to get in the saddle will find this coverage to be just what they need.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for adults too., August 12, 2002
By "amwalee" (Bangkok, Thailand) - See all my reviews
Having started riding as an adult, I find this book a nice addition to any horse book collection. What stands out is the author's focus on providing encouragement as well as instructions. The photos are helpful (and professionally taken - a big plus). Several pictures of riders falling out of the saddle convey the message that it is ok to fall. Smiling faces of young riders are very encouraging. Not being able to afford a horse, I didn't pay too much attention to the horse buying section but overall I think this makes a great book for an adult beginner as well.
