Amazing Results,
This review is from: The United States Pony Club Manual of Horsemanship: Advanced Horsemanship B/HA/A Levels (Paperback)
I found when i read this book, especially the riding section and then went to ride i had a much better understanding of what to do to recieve results and my horse just performed much better for me. There is a lot of info that builds onto the basics of the earlier books and there is a lot to learn from this great series.

Teaches you about the horse and how to manage a horse.,

This review is from: The United States Pony Club Manual of Horsemanship: Advanced Horsemanship B/HA/A Levels (Paperback)
This book is great for learning about the body systems of a horse.It also briefly explains how to manage a stable with things such as how to make a stall have good drinage. It is the best book to get if you want to meet the requirements of Pony Club levels A, HA, or B. But I recommend getting this book only if you are at the advanced levels in riding and horsemanship because otherwise you will find that the book overwhelms you with information.I may suggest that people buying this book should consider buying Pony Club Manuals on levels C and D before or perhaps in addition to this manual.Overall, a good book for learning about the horse.

Excellent book for advanced horsemen of any age.,

This review is from: The United States Pony Club Manual of Horsemanship: Advanced Horsemanship B/HA/A Levels (Paperback)
This is a great follow-on to the first two volumes of the USPC manuals. Together, they are the best "curriculum" on horsemanship available, bar none. (I say that, owning 900 horse books! The three USPC Manuals are the most useful of all.) As another reviewer said, it's not "complete"--one should read the first two volumes, first, as, like the USPC Standards of Proficiency, the Manuals build upon each other. I am a long-time riding instructor (over 22 years), especially with the US Pony Clubs. The three-volumes of the USPC Manuals would be a solid foundation of a good equestrian library.
