This riding manual will introduce you to the exciting world of horses while helping you minimize the risks of being hurt. The riding program in the book is designed to build your confidence as you progress through the lessons.

The author, Jim Milton, is an experienced rider who has competed internationally in dressage, show jumping and eventing. Using his own extensive experience plus techniques used by trainers in both the U.S. and Europe, he has developed a straightforward system for learning horseback riding. His uncomplicated how-to book will give you a solid background in horsemanship and prepare you for both English and Western riding.

The lesson structure encourages you to take all the time you need at each step before continuing on to the next phase. The author understands how important it is that you feel comfortable and safe at all times.

For this reason, choosing the right horse when learning to ride is vital. Just as a beginner driver shouldn’t start with a Ferrari, a beginner rider’s first horse shouldn’t be a powerful, highly strung competition animal. “Horse Riding Lessons: Training Yourself to Ride” describes the best type of horse for the rookie rider and how to find him. It also explains how to try out horses while staying safe.

Wearing the correct clothing is important for comfort and safety reasons, and in the book you’ll find information on where to buy what you need without spending a fortune.

You’ll need to learn how to catch your horse from the field, and some equines can be difficult about this. Here you’ll find tricks for catching him easily, and you’ll discover how to lead him the right way.

Once in the barn you need to know how to tie your horse correctly. This is essential for his safety as well as yours. You’ll then learn how to groom and saddle him properly before leading him to the mounting block.

During this time you’ll have been building confidence in your horse and are now well prepared for your first riding lesson. It begins with mounting the kind way, so your horse will happily stand still for you every time you want to get in the saddle.

As you progress through the lesson schedule, you’ll master one skill at a time and add another only when you’re ready. The instructions first explain how to walk, turn and stop your horse. When you feel comfortable with those movements, you’ll gradually - over the course of lessons - learn how to trot, canter and rein back from the halt. This book is your personal riding instructor and gives you many useful tips along the way to enhance your learning experience.

The program teaches you the basics of horseback riding while in the safety of an enclosed area and those fundamentals include learning how to control your horse. Once you have achieved this necessary skill you are ready to be coached safely through your first trail ride.

The book also includes information on how to recognize if the time has come for riding lessons, and how to find a good riding instructor who’ll assist you in taking your riding to the next level. But whether or not you opt to take further instruction, this guide will provide you with a solid foundation in horseback riding.
