Horse-Friendly Riding

This thought-provoking new book from Susan McBane looks at riding
largely from the horse’s point of view encouraging the development of
the policy of putting the horse first. Most people who love their
horses would hate to think that the way they rode them caused them
discomfort but with so many conflicting ‘expert’ views out there they
end up not knowing who to believe what to do or what is right and
wrong. The most important source to consult as to whether or not a
technique or policy is horse-friendly is the horse himself. Knowing how
to ride in a way which does not distress the horse which he
understands which he is not frightened of or finds confusing will
enrich the lives of both horse and rider.
