Games on horseback
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Games on Horseback is becoming a well-deserved classic. Games range from the simplest that even a fairly inexperienced rider can handle, to more challenging games that require greater skill. The book is useful to instructors wanting to inject some fun into learning,and amateur riders and owners. Games are clearly explained with colorful photographs.

I help in teaching therapeutic riding, and I purhcased the book for some ideas of different games to incorporate into the lesson. The book was exactly what I needed. It has several great ideas, and you can easily adapt the games to fit the population you serve.

I am a therapeutic riding instructor who purchased this book to supplement my lesson plans. I never saw it in person and was absolutely thrilled to see the wealth of ideas it contains. I sometimes run short of creative games to play in my classes and this book has definitely changed that. Since my largest class only has five riders and the levels don't follow the same lines, I don't really follow the instructions to form. The games are easily adaptable for therapeutic riding. I would encourage any TR instructor to purchase this book. I'm sure it would be great for regular riding programs as well. It is the most useful games book I have ever seen.
Good book for finding something fun to do while riding.

Lots of fun suggestions that will work for your next speed show or just for having fun with friends. The book indicates what level the rider needs to be at for each game, as well as advises what safety precautions should be taken. There are games for all seasons of the year and for all riding levels. The book includes drawings of arena or field setup where necessary and has photos of riders participating in the games. The instruction on each of the games also includes information about what skills the rider and horse are developing while playing these games.
