This book would be great for a beginner rider. I only found the last few chapters interesting. 3/4 of the book is about saddling and bridling, mounting and dismounting, the use of riding aides, grooming and what to wear. There were a few good tips on strengthening your seat and overall appearance in the show ring but other than that I wasn't that impressed. I wouldn't recommend this book to someone who already knows how to ride western or for someone who has already made the appearance in the show ring.
