Boys Ride Horses - Ludwig Rides Out

By Ludwig Heskamp and Michael Donker

Do we really need to point out nowadays that boys can ride horses? We believe the answer is yes In the past, horse riding was done mostly by men. Over the last century, women and girls have rightly claimed their place in equestrian sport. So far, so good. Today, however, equestrian boys in many cases struggle, and prejudices can appear as early as preschool. Most boys have never seen a boy on a horse and cannot even imagine it. This book aims to give boys an opportunity for identification.

Thirteen-year-old Ludwig proves that horse riding is for boys. With his pony Diddy, he rides out into the countryside. He rides through the forest, gallops across a freshly mown grain field, and rides through a giant puddle. The book also shows how to care for a horse before and after riding, and it shows the friendly relationship between rider and horse.
