For the Young Rider

Thistle Galbraith.

Published by Country Life.

Secondhand, hardcover, cover ripped as shown, full of illustrations.

This book has been written for younger riders. It is easy to read, and full of sound sense and practical instruction on the elements of riding and horsemanship. It makes the best of guides to the boy or girl who is setting out on the great adventure of owning or learning to ride a pony.

The illustrations are especially helpful.

There are many of them, and all are line drawings which are very simple to understand. The artist has drawn them in close collaboration with the author.

The author has included with her text appendices that young riders will find useful and instructive. There are a number of mounted games, lists of the common colours and breeds of horses, some useful general hints, and a glossary of riding terms.
