First Horse was written with two purposes in mind. The first is to help make the transition to horse ownership a positive experience for the first-time purchaser, and second is to help the novice rider learn the basics of good horsemanship and animal husbandry that can carry him or her through a lifetime of horse ownership. Part one of this book addresses several questions that arise hot on the heels of your decision to buy a horse. Who can help you find a horse? Where will you keep him? How do you test-ride a prospect? What do you want in a horse and what price are you willing to pay? The book's second section discusses physically handling your horse, both when you're afoot and when you're mounted. Once you have the right gear and an idea of how your horse's mind works, you're better prepared for successfully haltering, grooming, and saddling your horse as well as riding him. Your body position, the way you hold the reins, the cues you give with your voice, your hands, and your legs all contribute to how effectively you communicate your desires to your horse. Part three is about commitment, the everyday horse keeping that comes with horse ownership.
Soft cover, 176 pages, 160 black-and-white photos, and about 40 illustrations.
