Review: Great Information - This is great for a beginning rider or to brush up on general info if you've been away from the sport in a while. There are great photos to accompany the easy to follow text, and the author knows what she's talking about. I like how it covers both Western and English riding and even includes horse "etiquette" sections. Great book overall! Review: Not so dumb - I bought this for a joke gift for my boss (he recently broke his nose horseback riding at a by the hour type of place) and I am the horseback rider in the office. I glanced through the book, and it really gives a good basic overview. I am hoping he won't toss it out and let his ten year old daughter have it. desertcart free shipping is the best. Cheers!

Jane in Los Angeles ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lots of information, not a lot of "focus" *by S***R on November 17, 2015* The format is the same as all the "for dummies" books. It tries to deal with all kinds of riding, English, Western, Hacking, show, etc, That's a lot of information to attempt to pack into one book, so, while "everything" is covered, it's basic, and there really are none of the tricks of the trade that other more focused books contain. It's worth the price though and might be a help if you haven't decided which kind of rider you want to be. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/6966157-horseback-riding-for-dummies-for-dummies-series](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/6966157-horseback-riding-for-dummies-for-dummies-series) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-10-18*
