Hi, I’m asking lots today!

Can anyone recommend me some books for horse riding beginners, that can supplement taught group lessons?

Please include full title, author, and price if possible (UK only).
Just a note – as well as having lists of possible books, personal preference of book is good. Tell me why you think it’s good, and if you’ve ever used it for yourself, or someone you’ve worked with. Thanks!

I found this book really helpful. It covers EVERYTHING!
The Usbourne Complete Book of Riding and Pony Care- available from most good horsey shops, and Amazon. Depending on whether you get that one, or the Usborne Little book of Riding and Pony Care( exactly the same, just half the size!) it is either £8.99 or the small one is £5.99

Its really good!

not an amazon fan? there’s some on ebay, but try searching it!

Happy reading!
