The bright, clear photographs in this book will attract young readers to this extensive book on horse care and riding. It covers all the basics from horse and pony breeds, what to wear, tacking up, caring for ponies right up through the first lesson and jumping. There's even a section on Western riding.

There are plenty of tips such as defining what a 'hand' is in horsemen's terms and what a 'kind eye' looks like. Throughout the book are important safety tips (for you and your animal)that are both informaative and interesting to read.

The large, color photographs, often covering the entire page, clearly illustrate the text. The many notes, captions and sidebars all work together to get the message across in a fun way.
