The United States Pony Club Manual of Horsemanship: Advanced Horsemanship B/HA/A Levels (United States Pony Club Manual of Horsemanship, 3) Paperback – October 1, 1996

this book is a great overview and introduction to advanced horsemanship and riding. it covers lunging, teeth, systems of the horse and anatomy, stable management, pasture care and fencing, teaching, young horses, trailer care, position on the flat and over fences, basic training principles, conformation and lameness, diseases and prevention, tack, and parasites. the best part is the charts or different diseases, parasites, and drugs with causes, symptoms, treatment, etc.. it also has charts for conformation and unsoundnesses with the relationship between the two. i would also recommend the intermediate "c" manual as a additional reference - it works well in conjunction with this one. overall, the "a" manual provides a great overview of advanced horsemanship and is a fantastic reference covering many topics for the horse owner and is readable. it's much cheaper and usually better than comparable books.

I love all of the Pony Club Manuals. They are wonderful books for new riders and have really helped my son and I. I bought this one just to finish my collection. Great information and well written. Easy to understand :)

This Pony Club manual for advanced horsemanship is invaluable to anyone studying horsemanship and riding. Covers horse conformation, the feet and shoeing, conditioning and exercise, as well as dressage, jumping,longing and teaching.

the book was in excellent condition. Thanks!

Very easy read. First time I can say I really understood everything a book instructor, Susan E. Harris, has said.

I need this book for my Equine Science class and I am not at all disappointed this book is great.

great

This book has helped me so much! I began reading and studying it at age 10 when I was still a C2, and throughout my ratings and progression it has answered my endless questions and supplemented the material from the D and C manuals. While the B, HA, and A manual is very informative, it should only be read by those who can thoroughly comprehend and extract inportant information from the text. I was always a very mature reader, but at times I even had to reread pages to be sure I understood correctly. This book has helped me through my B, HA, and just recently helped me pass my A, so this book is the best way to go to becoming a good rider!Thank you so much for making this Manual!Love,Anna

I have not read the entire book but I have referred to it for different things and I like it very much.
