"A somewhat dated (1963) but still applicable guide to all your son or daughter will want to know in beginning horsemanship, written in a basic vocabulary (but not condescending tone) children can understand when reading on their own. There is a lot of information packed into only 96 small pages, including a large number of B&W photos with informative captions, an alphabetized guide to horse terms, a guide to tack, a labeled diagram of parts of a horse, explanations of the basic principles of horseback riding, advice on how to buy and care for a horse (feeding ,stabling, grooming, shoeing, vet care, etc.), and how to select and use proper equipment. Includes descriptions of ways to have fun with horses in games, shows, and Pony Clubs--shows the authors' love of horses throughout the book." [a private review]
