Western Horseman® Trail Riding - A Comprehensive Guide to Enjoying Your Horse Outdoors
Janine Wilder and her husband, Jim, have been trail riding for over 20 years. They've been all over the United States as well as Hawaii and the Mexican Yucatan jungle. The 100,000 miles of experience have made her an expert in the field of trail riding and traveling with horses.
"Trail Riding" is a comprehensive guide for anyone looking to hit the trails. It offers proven methods for developing the best trail horse possible, safe ways to handle a variety of terrain, solutions for common trail problems, plus tips and resources on how to travel with horses.
Janine has also included numerous sidebars that can be found throughout the book. Entitled "Life on the Trail", these notes are sometimes humorous, sometimes serious, but all interesting reflections of Janine's experiences.
