You’ve always dreamed of riding horses. So what are you waiting for? It’s time you realized your equestrian dreams and learned to ride like a pro on the back of a noble steed. And Horseback Riding for Dummies shows you how.

- Establish a rapport with a horse
- Cue a horse to walk, jog, trot, lope, and cantor
- Ride in the ring and on trails
- Improve your balance and timing
