Customer Reviews

Horseback riding for Dummies is a great book.

This book tells me everything I need to know. This book is going to help me when I join Rangers and when I take lessons. Totally recommend

Great for Novice

This book was purchased as a precursor to lessons and purchase of a horse. We had riden horses in our childhood, but that was some years ago. Excellent beginning point to make lessons more productive.

Very Informative

I have Learned alot form this book..as I have always loved horses and would like to own one someday. I will not buy one until I know all about horses and can take care of them properly. This book has everything in it you need to know. The seller was very prompt in sending it to me as well as the condition of the book was perfect. I would purchase from them again..

Horseback Riding for dummies

This is a GREAT book!!!!! I have been riding for years and years and love to step back and resolidify the basics!!! This book is awesome for that and I am sure the new horseback rider would feel so confident and knowledgeable after reading this book!!!! Awesome 5 star!!!

Superb Book...even if you aren't a dummy

This book covers the basics of horseback riding in an involving and intelligent manner. Certainly, if all you know about horses is that they have four legs and a tail, you're going to find this book indispensable if you're interesting in expanding your knowledge. But, if you're returning to riding, you'll still find this to be a helpful and enjoyable aid in returning to the saddle.

No longer be a dummy about horseback riding with this book

The writing is clear and helpful. I knew next to nothing about horses or horseback riding, and this book gave me enough information to build my confidence and enthusiasm to try. I highly recommend it!
