From The Inside Flap:

Safety is perhaps the single most neglected aspect of horseback riding, and safety requires that both the horse and the rider be properly equipped and trained. For each, there is a right way and a wrong way of doing things; the wrong way threatens safety, and the right one ensures it. This is the central philosophy behind this important new rider's manual by Sandra Kauffman of H. Kauffman & Sons Saddlery in New York. Clearly and conciely Mrs. Kauffman sets down the right way and explains exactly why it is right. Eleven comprehensive chapters cover: correct riding clothes and how to care for them; cleaning and maintaining tack; grooming a horse; bridling and saddling; mounting and dismounting safely; how to minimize a fall if you have one; riding safely on the trail and in the ring; keeping your horse fit and happy; designing a safe stable; trailering the horse; how to choose the right riding class and instructor for children and adults alike; how to administer first aid to both the horse and rider in case of an accident; and much more. In addition, there is a useful "Horseman's Dorectory," with names and addresses of organizations around the country that offer information and assistance to riders and horse owners. Throughout, the emphasis is on safety. KAUFFMAN'S MANUAL OF RIDING SAFETY makes indispensable reading for everyone who rides or cares about the safety of those who do ride.
