A great book that explains the beginning basics for jumping with horses. Very easy to understand and covers many topics with a understandable voice and terminology.

Excellent for kids learning to jump, but older or more advanced riders will benefit more from something more in-depth. I do wish the XC section was more in depth, however, despite the targeting of young riders beginning to jump.
