Book of Horseback Riding [antikvár]

RIDING IS FUN More Americans of all ages are riding for pleasure today than at any time since the automobile replaced the horse. Whether you are six or sixty, you can learn to ride. The age at which you begin is not important, and the common belief that no one will ever be a good rider unless he starts as a child is erroneous. But what is important is the manner in which you go about learning. If you learn slowly and correctly you will ride well and your pleasure in the sport will be greatly enhanced. To achieve this, you should have a well-behaved horse and some supervision. Both are obtainable in most cities from livery stables and in the country at camps or from friends. You also will find that an advance understanding of what you and the horse do, separately and together, will make learning easier for both of you. That is the purpose of this book. Riding is a year-round sport that offers endless variety. You do not need a partner or a group to enjoy it. A solitary ramble can be as pleasant as a jaunt with friends.
