Written by two distinguished safety advocates, Games On Horseback is the perfect complement to traditional riding lessons. Appropriate for instructors as well as individual riders, the book emphasizes equestrian safety. Each of the book`s games is designed to strengthen a specific riding skill. Organized by categories such as Group Games, Timed Games, and Mounted Drills, each game includes a box noting the skills it reinforces. Within each category, games such as Simon Says, Boots in the Bucket, Broom Polo, and Scavenger Hunt, are arranged by level of difficulty. Photographs, illustrations, and descriptions lead riders and instructors through games that meet the highest standards of safety. The goal of Games On Horseback is to produce a relaxed, happy, horse-and-rider unit and to enhance riders` skills in a fun, natural way.
