Through the charming story of Maria and her budding relationship with her Arabian gelding Joram, this handbook – beautifully illustrated with stunning full-color photographs – teaches kids how to properly interact with horses. Together with Maria, young equestrians will find out how to successfully greet, lead, groom, and mount a horse, and learn relationshipstrengthening obstacle games to play on the ground and on horseback.
Horse-loving kids will master essential skills for engaging with horses while also discovering the exhilaration and excitement of horse companionship. Most importantly, the emphasis on interacting with horses in a kind and gentle manner instills an important life lesson and promises years of fulfilling relationships with animals of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments.
