Good resource

This book is what I expected - a good resource about teaching the basics of English riding to children. It is mostly text, but there are some drawings/diagrams. It could have more games & exercises, but is good overall. It focuses primarily on teaching groups of children (not private lessons) & often refers to have side walkers - which only makes sense in a camp setting or a very large lesson barn. It spends a lot of time on safety procedures, which is good. The author is British, so some of the terms are a little different (I'm in the US), but you can still understand what she's trying to say. However, it assumes the reader has a good understanding of riding overall. It could be useful for having camp staff read, but would need some explanation if the person isn't a skilled horseperson either. Fine for someone with years of riding experience already/

Excellent information

Very complete book, not only gives pointers about safety and teaching but is full of ideas of games to make learning easy for kids!
