Recreational horse riding is one of the fastest growing of all sports, and at last there's a guide that makes training as much fun as riding itself! Master the basics of choosing the right horse, learn to be safe in the saddle, communicate well with your horse, keep up with your friends on the trail, and enjoy the pleasures that riders have known for centuries. Beautiful full-color photos on every page show you exciting action mixed with close-ups of every technique you need to know. You'll become familiar with both the physiology and psychology of your horse. Equipment also gets a whole chapter--yours, and your horse's. So does taking command the way your horse wants you to, including the proper way to saddle and bridle, and grooming methods that promote bonding. Then comes the thrill of riding, including beginning exercises, walking, trotting, and galloping, and soon you'll experience the indescribable adventures that only a rider can know. 144 pages (all in color), 7 1/4 x 9 5/8.
