Recovering from the sober discovery that just because they bought a horse doesn’t mean they are able to ride it, and after begging other people to take the plunge first, the author and her husband finally mount up and Get Serious About Riding.
This leads to the world of show-jumping, eventing and dressage, as well as a brief foray into the hunting field (where the hounds are always outfoxed).
The author is confident that, reading about her incompetence in and out of the competition arena, you’ll be encouraged about your own riding. Remember, it’s not the rider with talent who wins, but the one who works at becoming better.
