Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I am a horseback riding instructor and this is one of my favorite books for new students. Its great for all ages, and covers the bases very well. Also a great reference point for new horse owners!!

⭐This is great for a beginning rider or to brush up on general info if you’ve been away from the sport in a while. There are great photos to accompany the easy to follow text, and the author knows what she’s talking about. I like how it covers both Western and English riding and even includes horse “etiquette” sections. Great book overall!

⭐Gives me ideas

⭐Covers EVERYTHING! Don’t let the title fool you, GREAT information and artwork and well done.

⭐I have Learned alot form this book..as I have always loved horses and would like to own one someday. I will not buy one until I know all about horses and can take care of them properly. This book has everything in it you need to know. The seller was very prompt in sending it to me as well as the condition of the book was perfect. I would purchase from them again..

⭐A really good source of information and guidance for newcomers to the. Horse world. They appendix lists good sources for apparel, competition rules, and breed organizations. Overall an easy, fun guide for a newcomers to riding with lots of good illustrations and cartoons.

⭐This isn’t a very good book to help anyone to ride. I was really disappointed. There are much better riding books and videos out there. I had bought this for my students to read. Not going to use.

⭐I love the “for Dummies” books, they break it down to the basics. This one doesn’t disappoint. I’ve been a western horsewoman my entire life, teach horsemanship and recommend books to students. This one is on the recommended reading list now.

⭐Too basic even for a dummy!I’d hope there would be basic riding instructions

⭐this book details western riding and english style. it is broken down in to sections so that you know which is which.i thought it was quite good for little tips that your instructor might not mention but that are handy to remember.probably not the best book out there but def not the worst.

⭐happy customer

⭐Thanku

⭐iv been riding for about three years now, admittedly not in an overly dedicated fashion, but still found insightful things in there – probably useful for anyone who isn’t a high-end rider
