Das Pferdebuch für junge Reiter

In just under four decades, "The Horse Book for Young Riders" has become one of the most successful German-language horse books. The book has accompanied well over 100,000 young readers in their encounters with their favorite animals. Now, the classic is presented in a complete new edition: with new texts and images, as well as tried-and-true and additional topics.

The new edition takes into account the significant changes in equestrian sports and the youth readership over the past decades. Horses remain highly popular and beloved – they are present in films and books, on social media, and at successful horse shows.

However, the opportunities for real encounters with horses have become more challenging for young people. At the same time, societal sensitivity to the natural needs of horses and their original behaviors has significantly increased.

The magic of direct encounters with horses still exerts its enchanting appeal today; however, serious knowledge about these great four-legged partners must contend with the competition of diverse opinions on the internet.

The Horse Book for Young Riders informs and explains:
• From the birth of a foal to the factors that contribute to a good horse life
• From the natural behavior of horses to the rules for conflict-free interaction
• From horse care to groundwork
• From the basics of successful horse training to the first steps in the saddle
• From different horse breeds and talents to the vast world of equestrian sports

Shetland pony Felix guides readers through the various topics with a charming personality and great charisma. Interesting, unusual, and funny fun facts are attractive additions for today's curious and open-minded young readership.
