Small, But Full of Info.
I am a teenager, and was looking for horse books when our school had their annual "Book Fair" I came across this book and was in two minds about buying it. It looks aimed at very young children, but you'd be surprised at the content. It is little, as therefore doesnt go into alot of detail, but doesnt go into as much detail as possible for the size of the book. I was glad I decided to buy it, as it covers everything from taking your first steps, to jumping, and competing, from grooming to mucking out, and catching horses in their field, with handy little extra tips. 9/10, its only fault it its size!!

small but concise
I bought this recently for a 9 year old who has just started riding and I think it is perfect for a beginner to intermediate rider.There is a lot of information here such as caring for a horse, many different ways to ride and trouble shooting problems. I rode for 3 years and I'm learning from it and ordered another copy for my own daughter. I think it's small size is a bonus as you could/should take it riding with you.

Great but a bit small
I bought this for my two year old who is obsessed with horsies. He loves it and will sit looking at the pictures on his own as well as with me. My only negative comment is that it is quite small, so though it's a great size for him to handle now, it's going to be years before he can cope with the density and size of the text. But a great and informative book for any child into horses and ponies.
