Good guide!

This is a perfect guide for those who start horse riding. It provides you with a lot of information, from what to wear, how the horse reacts in a certain situation, safety, and how to act with them. The author takes time to explain the steps for those who start horseback riding and make it easy to understand. The narration is good and makes it fun to listen to it.

Great explanations!!

There were some interesting points made here that I did not realize horseback riding can help benefit you in some areas, like building muscles. The author also mention how to read the horses body language, the animal’s coordination, different riding styles, and even how to climb on the horse. So much packed information! I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook!!

Lives up to the name

I took up horse riding about a year ago. Getting this book is quite timely. This book has filled some gaps for me. Where I went to learn, I was only told to get on the horse, hold it with my knees and control it with the bridle. This book goes waaaay beyond that. I hope I'll be a better rider because of what I now know.

THIS BOOK IS A RIDE TO LEARN HORSEBACK RIDING!

An excellent book for anyone interested in learning how to ride a horse. The book offers information on a wide range of horseback riding topics, including attire, behaviour among horses and other equestrians, equipment, and much more.

It is written with beginners in mind and, even though certain portions are in-depth, is still easy to understand. The author's examination of the various parallels and differences between the English and Western riding styles struck me as being very insightful. A terrific chapter on horse safety is also included, which is really important.

If you're curious about horses in general or want to learn how to ride a horse, this book has to be on your reading list.

Fantastic Audiobook!

This audiobook is the complete package. The author has done a fantastic job of laying out the steps for beginners to start their journey with horseback riding. The chapters are laid out in the correct order that someone would tackle horseback riding. As someone who has never ridden before, having the chapter on Understanding the Basics and Safe Riding was essential. The narration is clear and easy to follow. When listening, you feel like you're conversing with a trainer in real life. I suggest this book to anyone in my life who is looking to start horseback riding!

Very good listen for anyone new to horseback ridin

This is a great listen for anyone who is interested in learning how to ride horses. I'm a complete newbie who has typically been a little afraid of horses, but I do want to learn. This is written in a way that is helpful for beginners, but goes deep on the things that seem to really matter when learning. Specifically, I appreciate the fact that the author gives details about little things like how to approach a horse and what to wear - these are some of the things that I worried about :)

Excellent beginning horseback riding book!

This superb listen covers all things beginning horseback riding from owning your horse to providing your safety. There are many responsibilities to owning and riding a horse, but this book makes it interesting and fun. I wanted to get on horseback and get going after listening to this. Loved the part about the horse's many gaits as well. Feel confident in knowing that all aspects of horseback riding are covered. A must listen. Highly recommended for anyone interested in this activity.
