An interactive learning book written to be read by children with large font and full colour pictures.
Encouraging learning safely, starting out with the core fundamentals to support the future of sensible, confident, and capable horse handlers and riders.

Written by Debbie Burgermeister, owner and head coach of Bonogin Valley Horse Retreat with over 40yrs of horsemanship knowledge to share, teaching kids in her riding school since 2006. With requests from parents asking for development goals she knows what parents and children need to have a successful horse riding journey.

This is a learning book written for children, especially between the grassroots age of six to thirteen, to guide them in the very basics of horse safety, horse handling, developing horse sense, and starting out with their horse riding journey. It is designed to be used in partnership with their horse and their coach as an interactive workbook and reference guide.
Practical and hands-on is the emphasis, because theory alone cannot prepare you to become a skilled horse person. This book will help children work through their learning experience with their instructor. It is written to support the exciting pathway of a horse life in a simple and easy-to-understand format and language. The author has a lifetime of horsemanship experience, in-depth knowledge to share, and a passion for people of all ages learning safely.
This book is every child's equine essentials kit for beginning a wonderful journey with horses, and for learning valuable life skills. Development of confidence, care, and communication is the blessing we wish you for a happy and healthy life.
