Description

Following on from Kingfisher's My First Pony and My First Pony Care, this delightful title is an essential book for young riding enthusiasts who wish to take their knowledge of the fascinating world of ponies a stage further. My First Pony Show is perfect not only for pony owners, but also any child who is learning to ride at a riding school and dreams of experiencing the excitement and drama of competing at a show. Stunningly illustrated with specially commissioned photography, this highly accessible book by an expert author explains with great clarity what to wear at a show and how to prepare your pony so that it is in peak condition and fitness. It covers every major competition, from lead-rein events for beginner riders, through colourful show jumping, fun-filled gymkhana games, fastpaced cross country and the precision of dressage. Throughout the book, concise step-by-step instructions, top tips and safety hints give highly practical advice that will help every reader make the most of the pony that they ride.
