Great book for riders at all levels March 7, 2007
8 out of 8 found this review helpful

I started riding quite late in my life and this book has been a great help to me. Whenever I encounter a problem I consult it again and it always gives me new ideas which work. I like especially the mixture of at home, on the ground and on the horse exercises. You can try basics safely first before you mount your horse. I am a Western rider and although its focus is English riding I was able to use it.

Starting Out, Starting Over March 6, 2007
6 out of 6 found this review helpful

In clear consise detail the author puts her over 30 years of experience into the student's hands. She takes you from the first meeting with your horse, on through to the clearest description of the use and purpose of aids I have ever read. This book is in my hands before and after every lesson, and evenings in between. The more often I go through it, the better I get.

Ms Bucklin is famous for her Seven Steps, which are a "must know" for safe and balanced riding. And if she did nothing else, she made clear to me the importance of grounding, centering and balance. The book is empowering because technique rather than athleticism is stressed and for one returning to riding at the age of 66 I am grateful. The pictures clearly show the correct positions which the student can then emulate and the author communicates her knowledge of the sport with encouragement and love.

Absolutely a must have book! March 6, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

As a beginning rider with my first horse this book is at the top of my list! I'm well over 40 yrs. old and suffered a major horse wreck a couple of years ago, breaking my back in 5 places, pelvic bone in 3 and leaving me with a bit of a fear problem as well. But, my dream for over 30 years has been to own horses so I pushed forward. While I've ridden for quite some time, I do feel like I'm a beginner because all of my previous riding was simply get on, kick to go, pull to stop! How amusing! This book gives you so much very needed information to help you in every aspect of horsemanship. From the ground to cantering and more importantly the very important confidence that you need. I really can't say enough about this.....simply an excellent book! Written in a manner for any level of rider. This one will remain at the front of your bookshelf!

A great book regardless of discipline March 5, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

Gincy's advice is right on the money and, not only does this advice help to build confidence in the rider, but it also helps to create a happier horse.

My daughter rides both English and Western, and I ride my horse in traditional Peruvian tack, which is probably more Western than English. The principles that are brought out in this book are applicable to any discipline.

I would highly recommend it to anyone who is just beginning to ride or who, like myself, is getting back into riding after years without horses.

An invaluable aid.

Perfect for target audience March 5, 2007

This book is the reason I even tried to ride a horse again. It is well-written with lots of photos and illustrations and is well-organized. Mrs. Bucklin writes clearly about how ride safely and be some one your horse wants to ride him or her. Unlike a lot of other books, this is not an ego book or a "system" book saying you need to buy other products to get the most out of it. It is a reference book. You'll go back and re-read for the rest of your riding days.

So if you've had a bad experience trying to learn to ride but still want to try, this book can help get you back on a horse.
