Judy Richter's Riding for Kids Stable Care Equipment Tack Clothing Longeing Lessons Jumping Showing
Author: Judy Richter

When Olympic Gold Medalist William Steinkraus wanted his sons to learn to ride, he took them to Judy Richter. It was Judy Richter who matched Norman Dello Joio with the right horse and sent them on to the highest levels of Grand Prix. Equestrians describe Richter as a ?quiet giant? who they say is ?at the core of what?s happening in the horse wo... more »rld.?Riding for Kids is a complete learn-to-ride program in a book, focusing on English riding. More than 150 full-color photographs guide the young rider from tacking up for the first time to riding on the flat to taking the first jump. Using a variety of young riders as models, Richter demonstrates correct position, balance, and aids. Throughout, a logical lesson plan, clear explanations, and safe practices maximize the youngster?s success. Readers will learn about daily care, preparing for lessons, going to horse shows, and how to pursue further activities. Richter believes every horse is unique, and she shares her insights to help the young rider communicate most effectively with the animal.. Best of all, Richter writes directly to the child (although she includes an initial Note to Parents). Her audience is older elementary-age children, preteens, and early teenagers ? the age group that is most passionate about horses and most eager to learn to ride well. Whether the child dreams of competing in the show ring or wants simply to ride for pleasure, Riding for Kids will help her or him become an able, aware, knowledgeable horse person.For young horse lovers who can?t get enough pictures of horses and ponies, we?ve created The Horse Breeds Poster Book, a gorgeous gallery of 30 pull-out horse posters ? enough posters to wallpaper a kid?s room.Young riders love pictures of adorable foals, big draft horses, sleek race horses, and tiny ponies ? and that?s what this book delivers. For this special collection, international horse photographer Bob Langrish has chosen his most kid-appealing images. On the back of each poster is a panel that describes the particular breed shown: where it comes from, what it?s good at, how it likes to be handled, and a lot more. Fun facts will turn readers into experts. They?ll learn, for instance, that little Shetland ponies are, pound for pound, the strongest horses of all. And that Belgian draft horses once carried knights into battle. And that Quarter Horses can outrace Thoroughbreds over short distances.We?re confident this book will be a hit with kids. Why? Because we called in young horse lovers to serve as consultants on this project. While the official target age for this book is 8?12, the subject and the beauty of the photographs will draw in younger and older horse lovers as well.A glossary defines horsey terms in language kids can understand, making The Horse Breeds Poster Book informative as well as beautiful
