At some point in a mother's life, her child--most likely, her
daughter--will smile sweetly and say, "Mommy, I want to learn to
ride a horse. And then I want to win a blue ribbon." What's a
mother to do? (Or for that matter, a father, since he'll become
involved too, even though ferrying the child to and from lessons
and competitions is far more often the equivalent of a Soccer Mom.)
Even people who rode when they were younger may not remember the
ins and outs of the sport, and especially the way it's played these
days. Riding to the rescue comes Susan Daniels, an experienced and
accomplished Horse Show Mom. Taking the perplexed parent under her
wing, she provides advice on locating a suitable lesson stable
(including how to tell whether a particular instructor is right for
your child, and what to do if he or she isn't), determining when -
or whether - to buy a horse or a pony, outfitting horse and rider
(must the animal's leg wraps and the child's ponytail ribbons
match?), and understanding and coping with stable politics (such as
when it's appropriate for barn managers and instructors to pay more
attention to another youngster than to yours). When it comes to
horse showing, the author explains how to tell when your child is
ready for competition, what's expected of horse and rider at
various levels of proficiency, which supplies Moms should always
have on hand (safety pins and hair nets lead the list), how to deal
with your child's triumphs and tears, and how to understand the
complicated but crucial national and regional championship points
systems. With pages of warm and encouraging humor, sound advice and
illustrative true-life adventures from the worlds of hunter/jumper,
Western, combined training, and dressage competition, The Horse
Show Mom's Survival Guide is a valuable "leg up" for any parent
whose youngster has that blue-ribbon gleam in her eye.
