You can never be too safe while being around these huge animals! We?ll discuss the safety issue in depth at different points in the book. I know you must have lots of questions ? that?s why have I prepared this book: To help anyone of any age to learn all the basics about horseback riding prior to getting on a horse for the first time.

This book will take you item by item through all of these critical concepts to help you understand how a horse thinks, how he?s made, his physical characteristics, etc. You will also have to prepare yourself both physically and mentally. Riding horses is like no other sport - you see, if you play golf, tennis, swim, jog, play football or basketball, lift weights?. whatever it is (except for some team interaction) how well you do in that sport is pretty much determined by what YOU can do physically. How much speed, strength, finesse, coordination, etc. you can develop determines how well you?ll do. But, when riding, you now have a partner?the horse?who, unlike a tennis racquet or golf club?has a mind of his own. Success depends on you working together as a team. Plus, your physical build and shape will also determine how well your horse can perform. Together you are a team and you can help each other out by being physically fit. Horseback riding also helps you develop specific muscle groups that are not worked regularly in other sports In the horse world, your success is determined by how well you can control, understand and harmonize with a 1,000-pound animal that has superior strength, is faster and has a better-developed nervous system than you. The way you overcome these strengths in a horse is to understand what the horse?s limitations are. Understanding the horse?s body, what makes him tick and how the horse?s brain works is the key to controlling him. If you don?t figure this out and understand the horse then you?ll constantly be fighting him and your experience will go sour.

Download or read book World Class Grooming for Horses written by Cat Hill and published by Trafalgar Square Books. This book was released on 2019-11-15 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When owning, training, riding, and showing horses, there is a certain “look” to which one aspires. World-class “turnout”—a horse in peak condition, perfectly coiffed and luminous with health, outfitted with gleaming and well-fit tack appropriate for his sport—can take your breath away. And while it can certainly play a significant role in a competitive rider’s success, it is just as appealing to have any horse “groomed to the nines,” whether he’s headed for an afternoon lesson or just out on the trail. Achieving this superior look is not just about clean tack, shiny brass, spotless stockings, or perfect braids. The most important steps are in the day-to-day nitty-gritty of grooming and caring for the horse: noticing “something not-quite-right” about the way the horse looks or moves before it becomes “something wrong”; brushing and combing and trimming a little every day so the horse’s skin and coat remain healthy; knowing how to prepare a horse properly for training, and how to cool him down afterward. Now, two of the best professional grooms in the business share their trade secrets, with over 1200 color photographs accompanying the ultimate modern-day guide for all riders who want their horses to look and feel their best.
