Finally! Your lifelong dream has become a reality—you are about to own your very first horse.

If you are a horse lover, it is very difficult to describe the unique sense of freedom and joy that arises every time you go horse riding.

Once you build confidence as a rider, you may go on to try a plethora of exciting activities—including racing, steeplechasing, and team sports.

You may even want to take your stallion or mare to a show, to get up close to other beautiful horses and exchange key information with other riders or owners.

Although you are excited, you may stay up at night wondering if you will be the very best owner or rider of the horse of your dreams.

It can sometimes seem like there are so many skills to hone—including caring for your horse, watching out for signs of injury, and tacking up your horse.

Here’s some good news for you—these skills are easy to learn, and while practice makes perfect, there are many skills you can perfect from day one.

The Complete Guide to Your First Horse for Young Riders is here to make the transition from horse lover to owner or rider, easy and fun. In this audio, you will find:

Helpful book!

Ever since I saw horses in a barn I've always wanted to have one. But I don't know what are the things that I need to do and how am I gonna take care of them, and thanks to this book I have now some insights about horses. I will recommend this one and you will surely gain something from it.

Highly Recommend!

I couldn't have asked for a finer handbook to navigate the fascinating but sometimes complicated world of horse ownership as a teenage horse enthusiast; it is an amazing gem for young riders. My first horse was recently given to me by my dad, and I couldn't be more excited not only to ride him but also to take care of him since he will be my duty. And I'm really glad I found this gem since I'm certainly learning a lot from it.
