Horse Blankets, Sheets And Rugs Our horse is one of our most prized possessions and friends.

This is all that you would expect from a Dorling Kindersley discovery book. Written by experienced coach and trainer William Micklem, it provides color coded chapters, tables, diagrams and hundreds of photographs supporting the points and techniques he describes.

The guides are evenly balanced between those relating to the rider, those relating to the horse and those involved in particular events such as dressage, showjumping and cross country competitions.

With regards to the rider, a chapter is devoted to the beginner and a follow up chapter on balanced riding techniques. These are then supported by two further chapters, one each on the physical and mental preparation for becoming a fully confident and successful rider. A chapter on horse structure and instincts is compiled to provide a foundation into basic horse training methods, with a final chapter on the physical preparation and fitness of the horse. Comprehensive chapters are included on dressage, showjumping and cross country competition riding.

Packed with usable advice from cover to cover, this book is an ideal companion for a rider and their horse.
