Self-Help
Every parent hopes to experience the thrill of seeing a
child discover an activity she loves, and then watching as
that interest unfolds into a lifelong passion. But when a
child adores horses above all, these joys are often
dampened by anxiety, especially when the parent knows
little about riding. The questions can be overwhelming: How
does one begin to find a qualified riding instructor? Just
how expensive is this hobby? And — most important — will my
child be safe? Parents searching for answers will find relief in A
Parent’s Guide to Riding Lessons, by Elise Gaston Chand. A
former horse-crazy child born to horse-clueless parents,
Chand is today both an accomplished horsewoman and the
mother of a horse-crazy daughter. Her vantage point allows
her to get to the heart of parents’ concerns, then offer
the information, instruction, and peace of mind that they
desperately need. With its engaging "been there" voice, A Parent’s Guide to
Riding Lessons combines the instant appeal of an impulse
purchase with the practicality and depth of content of a
thorough guide. Parents will snap up the book for its
clear, reassuring voice, then refer back to it often for
its quality answers and information. A Parent’s Guide to Riding Lessons gives busy parents an
overview of horseback riding and lesson progression. It
translates the strange language of horse enthusiasts,
explains horse show etiquette, and addresses specific ways
that parents can help children stay safe in and out of the
barn. Along the way it offers practical advice, tips, and
step-by-step guidance through an array of challenges that
parents can expect to face.
