Real Riding: How to Ride in Harmony With Horses

Rating:
Summary: Learning to be soft and respectful
Review: As a beginner to English riding, I found this book great to learn the essentials with thoughtfulness to the horse. The book focused on getting results while being a good and respectful leader to the horse; the less guides that are actually used, the better! Be aware, however, that some of the vocabulary used in the book was taken for granted by the writer. There is a glossary at the back, but it didn't include all of the 'horsemanship' words that you wouldn't know if you are new to English riding. Regardless, I learned a lot of helpful tips that I could apply in my lessons, including much of the psychology behind horse's actions.
