"The Amateur Horseman" by Margaret Clarke is a comprehensive guide to horsemanship, blending Australian theory and practice. Aimed at amateur riders—defined not as novices, but as those for whom riding isn't a full-time job—this book provides essential knowledge for developing a skilled partnership with your horse.
Clarke explores equine anatomy, movement, and psychology to inform riders on understanding their horse's capabilities and limitations. Emphasising clear communication and the rider's position, the book offers practical advice on using riding aids effectively. It also looks at the conformation of the horse, and how this affects performance. It explains the fundamentals of dressage in an accessible manner and offers invaluable insights into creating a harmonious, understanding relationship between horse and rider.
