Selkeästi heppahulluille lapsille suunnattu hevostelukirja; jokainen sivu oli kuva kuvatekstein, ja ratsastajana oli aina lapsi. Kirja kävi pienen pintaraapaisun verran hevosharrastuksen osa-alueita harjaamisesta espanjalaiseen kouluratsastukseen. Suurimpaan osaan "ongelmia" neuvona oli "kuuntele opettajan neuvoa", mikä ei toki koskaan ole huono neuvo, mutta toki kirjalta voisi opettavaisempaakin otetta kaivata näin aikuisiällä.
An excellent overview of all things horses. It's both the perfect book for an introductory to the world of horses and horse riding, and a great refresher. Great for children and adults alike, as I gained a lot from reading this book. Highly recommended.
