I am looking for either good websites or books (please, ones that you know and trust, not that you just now googled) regarding basic horseback riding form and vocabulary. I rode when I was younger for about seven years, and would like to do some research before picking it up again. I rode western then, but am open to information on english as well.

Hunter/Jumper is right. Horseback Riding for Dummies is an excellent little refresher! I still refer back to it when I cannot figure something out. Another resource I really like is Equestrian Rider Amazon.com’;return true;” onmouseout=”self.status=””>Horse Channel.com. It is a very friendly community of horse lovers that is getting pretty popular. You can ask questions on the forum or read articles on specific training techniques. It would be a really good refresher to just read the articles and maybe you will remember some stuff. Okay and for the last one…Get Young Rider magazine. We get it at our barn and I read some of the articles for ideas to teach. It has informative very descriptive and informative articles. Really any book about horseback riding could give you some tips to get back into it. Good luck, and e-mail me if you need to find a riding stable in your area..I know lots of them!
