Recensione

The days have long gone when knowledge was handed down through the generations. The internet, our modern equivalent, does not always give hands-on experience to enable the rider to tackle a variety of situations. This book fills a huge gap and is an absolute 'must-read' for riders of every level who wish to get full enjoyment from their horse while exploring the countryside. Packed with practical, common-sense solutions to problems which you may encounter, Discover Off-Road Riding will provide you with the knowledge and confidence to embark safely on longer rides and more adventurous off-road challenges. An amusing and easy read, it is full of information and attention to detail which will inspire every rider to have a go at off-road riding. --Loraine Young, Chairman BHS Scotland
