Reviews

“I have had teaching barns for over 50 years and would have loved to have this for all new parents.” – Childress “Chile” Rodgers, 2008 Master Horseman

“We would recommend this book for all family members, not just parents! We wanted to understand our niece’s passion and be able to talk to her about horseback riding, but neither of us had any experience with horses. Now that we’ve read the The Essential Guide we feel so much more comfortable around the barn and at shows.” – Barb and Steve S.

“I wish I had this book when my daughter began riding. This is great for any parent entering the equestrian world.” – Gina L.

“The world of the horse show and rider is a foreign one for me. This book will be used as my interpreter for the new and exciting land of the horse show!” – Joy F.
