The Safe Equestrian

About the Book

The equestrian must respect the horse’s size, for his power can be injurious to the handler, if resistance or rebellion is expressed by the animal.  Riders must pursue the sport with patience and caution, with personal safety at the forefront, or major accidents can occur when least expected.  Without proper knowledge and skills, the rider does a disservice to the honorable steed.  The horse will always be the equestrian’s best teacher providing new discoveries that enlighten for a lifetime.
