When i bought this book i was a bit sceptical that a book could help your riding but i was proved wrong!This book gave me a massive insight in to the real way of riding that i thought you could only get from expensive physical riding lessons.This helped me pass my BHS exams and is well worth buying.

I had a copy of this book when I was an apprentice back in the 70s, but gave it away years ago. I now use it for advice when breaking in my young ponies. Pure nostalgia!

BHS Exam Manual
17 Dec 2006
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the riding manual that corresponds to the British Horse Society (BHS) horsemastership (Stage) exams. It covers material from learning to mount and lead a horse up to teaching the piaffe and cross-country riding. Surprisingly compact at 144 pages, this book would make an excellent text book for a college horsemanship class as its material covers multiple levels of riders.
The illustrations are clear, chapters are "to the point," and the text anticipates rider questions and problems. Although it will not provide a BHS candidate with sample riding tests it is still worthwhile. Ideally this book would be purchased by a rider in one or more English riding lessons per week as it is easy to reference and would work well with a lesson program.

One of the best resources for riders
15 Dec 2010
Format:Paperback
This manual is one of the best resources for riders. It is reliable, classic, and sensible riding.
I especially recommend it for novice riders -- if you ride and handle your horse according to these guidelines, you will be safer, you'll have fun, and your horse will be happier.
The only caveat that I have is that the guidelines may not be totally consistent with specialized American sports like Quarter horse hunter classes which have their own fashions in some respects. Also, the terminology is British, not American.
