New Book Will Maximize Your Riding Lessons
Elizabeth Taylor may have had a top trainer to transform her into National Velvet on the silver-screen, but how can today's beginning riders make sure they get the most out of their riding instruction? Riding lessons form the foundation of any aspiring equestrian's experience, so it's essential new riders learn all they can. Author Mike Smith offers the perfect companion guide to instructor training in "Getting the Most from Riding Lessons." Intended to complement and reinforce the material and techniques taught in riding classes, this guide makes it easier for the rider to feel comfortable with horses and learn his or her way around the barn. Smith helps readers feel confident and at ease with an instructor, and includes information about safety, horse behavior, basic riding lessons, and practicing.
