More About This Book

Overview

When Olympic Gold Medalist William Steinkraus wanted his sons to learn to ride, he took them to Judy Richter. It was Judy Richter who matched Norman Dello Joio with the right horse and sent them on to the highest levels of Grand Prix. Equestrians describe Richter as a "quiet giant" who they say is at the core of what's happening in the horse world.

Riding for Kids is a complete learn-to-ride program in a book, focusing on English riding. More than 150 full-color photographs guide the young rider from tacking up for the first time to riding on the flat to taking the first jump. Using a variety of young riders as models, Richter demonstrates correct position, balance, and aids. Throughout, a logical lesson plan, clear explanations, and safe practices maximize the youngster's success. Readers will learn about daily care, preparing for lessons, going to horse shows, and how to pursue further activities. Richter believes every horse is unique, and she shares her insights to help the young rider communicate most effectively with the animal. Best of all, Richter writes directly to the child (although she includes an initial Note to Parents). Her audience is older elementary-age children, preteens, and early teenagers — the age group that is most passionate about horses and most eager to learn to ride well. Whether the child dreams of competing in the show ring or wants simply to ride for pleasure, Riding for Kids will help her or him become an able, aware, knowledgeable horse person.

Provides abundant photographs and detailed information describing how to ride a horse, from dress and equipment to jumping and competition.

Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature
Age seven is a good age for children to begin learning to ride a horse or pony. Lessons from a competent instructor combined with this informative manual for riding will give a child the basics for a lifetime of pleasure. The note to parents at the beginning of the book addresses topics, such as, picking an instructor. Children learn how to groom and care for a horse before and after riding, how to put on and adjust the tack before riding, and how to dress for riding. Children learn the proper way to mount, dismount and sit on the horse. Positioning of the hands, feet, and legs are explained depending on whether the horse is walking, trotting or cantering. The horse depends on the rider for instruction on its moves; so, the rider must learn the proper way to give signals that control the horse's movements as it travels around the ring on the flat or over jumps. Photographs showing correct and incorrect positions accompany the instructions are very helpful. Detailed information prepares a child for showing a horse in various show classes. Although the book is geared for English riding, a child that rides western may, also, benefit from the instruction. 2003, Storey Kids/Storey Publishing, Ages 7 to 12.
—Sally Niezgoda
School Library Journal
Gr 4-8-This refreshingly uncluttered book offers a thorough introduction to horsemanship. Richter's enthusiastic tone conveys a love for horses that is nonetheless tempered with strict adherence to and promotion of important safety practices. In five chapters, she covers stable care, equipment, tack, clothing, longeing, lessons, jumping, and showing. The author's strong focus on good horsemanship is appropriately central to the text while the conversational, upbeat writing avoids any hint of condescension to young readers. The full-color photographs and black-and-white illustrations extend readers' understanding of the concepts being discussed. The cast of young riders, however, excludes minority representation. Contact information for several relevant organizations is included. This approachable, inviting volume successfully covers a number of topics that other authors often break into numerous volumes. If your budget allows for only one book, this is it.-Lisa Falk, Los Angeles Public Library Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
