The distinguishing sign of this already classic book is the combination of practical and professional knowledge with joke, warmth and empathy. The book is accompanied by children and youth at the first meeting with the horse, in the treatment of horses and the first riding experiences. This book does not leave any unanswered questions, be it horses or housing, care for horses or equipment, stable behavior and pasture or whether it is a doctrine of riding, jumping or riding in the field, deciding on your own or first rehearsals. All the small and big problems of young riders, beginners or even more advanced are taken seriously, but laugh is allowed.
