  Intended for young riders who want to get the best out of riding and keeping a pony, this book offers advice on buying one, how and where to keep, feed and care for it, and on choosing and maintaining saddlery, grooming kits, rugs, bandages and stable equipment. Guidance on riding is provided in the form of simple explanations and instructions on basic mounting and dismounting, learning to canter and gallop, and schooling a pony. There is emphasis on safety, particularly on roads. The coverage of competitive riding includes jumping, hunting, hunter trials, Pony Club eventing and horse shows, with information on Pony Club membership and a list of addresses.
