Customer Reviews

Highly recommended especially for young horse lovers

My First Horse and Pony Care Book is hardcover primer to basic care for horses, written especially for young people. Photographs on every page illustrate how to feeding and water horses, muck out stables, keep horses groomed, give them baths, keep them healthy, ride them safely using proper gear, and much more. Though My First Horse and Pony Care Books is a primer that sticks to the bare essentials, safety is always put first, and an index allows young readers to quickly locate and refresh their understanding of key information. Highly recommended especially for young horse lovers and any child preparing to care for or simply ride a horse or pony.

Very informative

My niece loves it. She is learning how to ride and loves anything with horses.

Not overwhelming

This book is great for younger riders. It doesn't overwhelm the child with too much information. The illustrations are great. Real photographs of kids and horses not hand drawn pictures.

best book for any pony mad child!!

This book will enliven the dreams of any pony mad child. It is an action packed and easy to follow. It takes the child from first steps through to jumping in one clean swoop. The photographs are clear and beautifully presented and the ponies are immaculate.It helped my child understand the fundamental stages of riding for her lessons
