### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Great Guide
  

*by D***S on Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2011*

Charlie Hicks is right on target with his complete guide/manual for the beginning rider. I really appreciate that he addresses the need for a rider and horse to build a relationship based on mutual trust and confidence and this requires mutual respect, rider for horse and horse for rider.  I also commend Charlie for his emphasis on safety issues when dealing with an animal which outweighs you, can out muscle you and has an innate flight instinct.  He gives the reader - whether a beginning rider or a more experience rider - a good basic explanation of what we as riders need to know about how horses behave and why, that is, the nature of the horse and how they think.  This information is extremely important to our understanding of how to best work with our horses in order to have a successful experience.  The information he provides about tack options and how they are used and the principles of equitation are clearly and sequentially presented, informative and, happily Charlie's guide is a very enjoyable read.  As a horse lover, trainer, rider, and owner of wonderful trail/pleasure horses for over 35 years, I would definitely recommend this guide to anyone who wants to begin riding, return to riding or get another valuable perspective on riding and working with horses.

    Good read

    excellent brief summary, very poor pictures
  

*by B***Y on Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2014*

This is a great book that covers the basics of getting started with horses. A marvelous and intuitive initial section covers how the horse thinks and does what he does. Very, very helpful to the newbie.Brief, concise and a quick read, well worth the time and money.The only downside is the illustrations are grainy, poorly transposed and only marginally useful.  A real low point is the final section on types of horses, and it has absolutely no pictures of any of the various breeds.Slipshod illustrations (or lack thereof) aside, a good book and very helpful. I would buy it again.
