Product Description
A classic book of horsemanship is back in print.
From the Back Cover
Published in 1981 and out of print for more than a dozen years, George H. Morris Teaches Beginners to Ride is an entry-level introduction to hunter-seat riding, from the novice's first lesson up to fundamentals of jumping.
George H. Morris, hunter-seat equitation and show jumping's preeminent trainer and commentator, offers advice about a range of relevant subjects, including how to select a riding facility and instructor, correct clothing, ponies versus horses, individual versus group lessons, and student and instructor attitudes toward lessons and learning.
At the heart of the book is Morris's noted system of exercises that develop form and control on the flat and over fences, a system that has produced generations of champions from backyard horse shows all the way to the Olympics.
As the author suggests, the foundation of success in anything is just that - a strong foundation and solid basics. "I like to say that I teach basics all the way to the Olympics. Without a firm grasp of the essentials of form and function, a rider cannot excel at any level."
With a new introduction to this edition and with 137 step-by-step photographs that illustrate Morris's system, this clinic for students, parents, and instructors is required reading for aspiring riders and their trainers.

This review is from: George H. Morris Teaches Beginners to Ride: A Clinic for Instructors, Parents, and Students (Hardcover)
I liked the book, but there wasn't a whole lot about position/form, etc. I think you have to get that from his other book, hunter seat eq. This book is designed more towards the trainer, or for the rider on what to expect when at the stable and taking a lesson. Typical old style George Morris, with lots of direct talk.

Good info but I already know how to ride, Feb 11 2010
By Gwendolyn Bernardo - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: George H. Morris Teaches Beginners to Ride: A Clinic for Instructors, Parents, and Students (Hardcover)
This book has great information. However, I have been riding in this classical style for 4 years so all of this information makes sense. If I were a brand new rider, I would feel lost.Good review for everyone and shows riders what their 'ideal' positions will look like
