Horses and Ponies Résumé

Horses and Ponies: A General Introduction Sandy Ransford

Kingfisher Riding Club series caters for the young horse and pony enthusiast. The series covers every aspect of horse and pony lore, as well as provide practical information on care, riding, showing and training. You do not need to own a pony to love Kingfisher Riding Club. This book, now available in paperback, is a photographic introduction to horses and ponies that provides a wealth of information about riding and horse-care, as well as capturing the magic of these fascinating animals. Many horse books currently available on the market are too dry and weighty for the child who is new to riding. They concentrate on the serious practicalities of pony-ownership and fail to convey the pleasure of simply being around horses. This is a book targeted at the child, of 8 years plus, who is learning to ride at a riding school but dreams of having a pony of her own. With scores of specially commissioned photographs of horses and ponies in the fields, at the stables, being ridden, this book will convey the romance and fun of the world of horses, as well as the facts.
