" If you are thinking about
showing, read this book first. It gives you a comprehensive overview of the show
scene. I cover both English and Western events, describing them to help you select
an event, select a horse for that event, and choose the right tack and attire.
You'll learn how to find a trainer and instructor and I'll give you tips on working
with your veterinarian and farrier as well. Finally, you'll learn about trailering,
preparing for your first show, and show ring etiquette."  |

of information, timely and accurate, is wonderful." - Horsemen's Yankee
