Excellent how-to book for children or those new to horses

This book is an unparalleled how-to book beginners of all ages starting out with horses. It was written with young teens in mind, but its simplicity of instruction is delightfully comprehensible for adults, too. This book is about basic "horse sense," and should be in every horseman's library.
