The BHS Complete Manual of Equitation: The Training of Horse and Rider (British Horse Society) (BHS Official Handbook) Paperback – 14 May 2011

Bought to refresh some of the basics info, nicely explained and worth to have on your bookshelf. Going back to it now and then. Happy with the purchase!

After purchasing trouble shooting riding manuals I felt underwhelmed and to be quite frank ripped off.I wasn't born in the saddle but I'm an adult advanced standard rider who has been riding (pretty obsessively) for 6 years.For me this book has it all. It's information is delivered in a high level and comprehensive manner and is invaluable whether you're into jumping, flat work or cross country. What I loved about this book is that it armed me with questions to fire at my instructor and it compounded learning from my riding lessons.

Great foundation book. Informative and easy to follow it’s a great reference point for riders and trainers alike. I really recommend for riders of all abilities and anyone wishing to engage in schooling work with their horse, should be on every riders shelf

Clear basic introduction to riding & horse management with helpful illustrations. Some more illustrations would have been helpful. The language did not use horsey jargon which I found helpful, so I found it quite readable.

A comprehensive book from the British Horse Society that provides an excellent theory back-up for anyone taking riding lessons. You won't necessarily need this book if you are a complete beginner but once you have decided you are going to continue to ride regularly you won't regret investing in a copy.

Very useful book. Not too in-depth but it does cover all the dressage figures, how jumps and a little x-country.

Ideal for the rider returning to riding or a beginner full of helpful advice with clear diagrams. An ideal book for a horse rider.

After starting horse riding lessons again, my tutor recommended this book to me. I read it from cover to cover within a couple of days. A must have for any horse rider novice
