This really is a complete guide
This book is very a comprehensive guide to English riding. Exactly what I was looking for. As someone else noted, there's no nonsense about breeds and such. I really liked the sections on dressage and jumping, where the author provides very useful diagrams, exercises and and explains the differences between competition levels. That is exactly what I was looking for. I think that this book is totally worth the price! The only thing I could criticize is the font being a bit on the small side, but that way you end up with more content packed on fewer pages.

Excellent guide to all types of horse riding
Excellent book for all level of riders BUT it is more suited to the advanced rider. It covers a lot of subjects from getting started as a beginner rider (the first 105 pages) to competition level in Dressage, Showjumping and Cross-country. I would view this as a book for a life-time of reading, a resource that you can keep going back to over the years. I particularly like how it covers the fitness & feeding of horses, rider fitness is covered really well in diagram format as well as written and the mental preparation for a rider. Excellent glossary of information too. As a beginner rider myself, lots of this book is way over my skill level but it is written so well that it is a pleasure to read even if I can't actually do what they are talking about. So if you are looking for a step by step guide to the basics, this book won't help you enough but if you are looking for a book that will be used over and over again as you advance then it's worth having especially if you are an information nerd.
