Topics from grooming and mounting to jumping and hacking are covered in this horse-riding primer. The busy spreads feature color photos, captions, diagrams, sidebars, horse diary entries, question-and-answer boxes, and tips. The information in the text is incomplete, confusing, and often contradictory, with a level of sophistication at odds with the intended readership. A quiz ends the book. Glos., ind.
