In the chapters of Part I, you find the basic information
you need to know about horses and how to start riding
them. I show you how to identify the parts, colors, and
markings of horses. I also explain how the equine mind
works and give you pointers on how to communicate
effectively with these friendly beasts. You discover what’s
involved in finding a riding instructor and getting yourself
ready to ride. And don’t forget — safety first! I explain
what you need to know to stay secure both in and out of
the saddle.
