Showing for Beginners

by Hallie McEvoy

Participating in a first horse show can be a daunting experience. From how to register to the mystery of what judges look for, there is so much to learn and - until now - no one book to go to for answers. With Showing for Beginners, judge Hallie McEvoy acts as a friendly and highly informed guide for the beginning hunter seat rider. She explains the requirements and customs for both horse and rider, show-ring etiquette, showing lingo - all the while debunking myths and offering sound advice on safety, finding the right trainer, and even buying a show horse. And, most important, she stresses the value of relaxing and having fun. (6 X 9, 176 pages, b&w photos, illustrations)

Perfect for those who are going to their first horse show! It's easy to follow, and provides all the best information a green competitor needs. Would make a wonderful gift for someone thinking about getting into horseback riding, seeing as it covers more than just showing. A great value.
