Full Description
The Pony Club Manual of Horsemanship is the essential guide to riding and pony care. Generations of people, young and old, have trusted the Manual to bring together the latest knowledge and skills from a wide range of experts, including The Pony Club Training Committee, coaches, veterinarians, saddlers and loriners.
This iconic publication, having sold over a million copies in English alone, has been completely rewritten and is now available in three volumes: Fundamentals, Progress and Mastery.
In Book 1 Fundamentals - this comprehensive guide covers the essentials of working with a pony, creating a safe and happy environment for human and equine alike. With pony welfare at the heart of all Pony Club training, this book will help you understand how your pony learns, how to communicate better with them and how to develop a rewarding and mutually beneficial relationship with them.
The Manual of Horsemanship complements the huge range of fun activities and sports, unmounted and mounted, offered by being a member of The Pony Club. With an internationally recognised and progressive set of competency tests, together with over one hundred fun achievement badges, there are numerous resources available for members, parents and coaches to further their knowledge and understanding of horses and ponies through The Pony Club.
As a youth charity, The Pony Club supports this learning through a shared passion for horses and ponies, developing life skills in a supportive environment. The Pony Club is all about Fun, Friendship, Horsemanship and Sport.
