The Rider's Problem Solver Your Questions Answered: How to Improve Your Skills, Overcome Your Fears, and Understand Your Horse

The Average Rider doesn't have Olympic aspirations and a $10,000 horse. Most riders just want to learn as much as they can about horses, to ride as well as possible, and to enjoy the companionship of their equine partners. Many riders, however, feel frustrated with their lack of progress, struggle with uncomfortable tak or painful joints, or find themselves losing confidence after a frightening experience. In her informal yet informative style, clinician and equine behaviour expert Jessica Jahiel addresses numberous rider concerns, from head (properly fitting a helmet) to toe (breaking in a pair of stiff new boots) and everything in between (those aching knees). Following the successful question-and-answer format of The Horse Behaviour Problem Solver, she presents real-life situations and addresses them in comprehensive detail, offering proven solutions to common problems.

Jessica Jahiel is an internationally renowned lecturer, clinician, and award-winning author who answers equine-related questions in her online newsletter, Horse-Sense. She also responds to questions about horse behavior, riding matters, and anything else readers want to discuss in Horse & Rider, Equus, and Dressage Today, as well as in her best-selling books The Horse Behavior Problem Solver and The Rider's Problem Solver.
