How women should ride

A practical, down‑to‑earth guide written especially for women who are new to the saddle, this book walks readers step by step from the first tentative trot to confident riding across the countryside.

The result is a concise, friendly handbook that equips aspiring equestriennes with the confidence and knowledge they need to enjoy riding safely and gracefully.
