The Complete Guide to Endurance Riding and Competition (Howell reference books)

Whether you're saddled and ready for the dynamic new sport of endurance riding, or more content to lope down a pretty country lane, this thorough guide provides plenty of updated information to keep horse and rider on the right path. While it's most suited to the endurance rider, the author covers training procedures (conditioning, feeding, equipment) that are also useful to noncompetitive equestrians. Photos, drawings, and charts accompany the straightforward text.
