From Booklist
Gr. 4-7. A well-known name to readers of horse books, Haas focuses on safety issues for new riders and owners covering a broad range of topics: understanding horse behavior; approaching, grooming, saddling, and leading a horse safely; choosing proper fencing; creating secure stable areas free of fire, electrical, and health hazards; and choosing the right tack and equipment for both horse and rider. Haas also offers readers guidance in selecting an instructor and evaluating a riding stable. The straightforward tone, laced with touches of humor, provides clear explanations. Numerous photographs, diagrams, and sidebars bolster the text. An excellent addition to horse collections.
