Of Note: Books! "Learning to Ride, Hunt and Show" by Gordon Wright

I received a copy of this book from my dear friend, Janie, who was also instrumental in my having Aladdin (more on Janie to follow in "Are You Ready For Your Own Equine Friend?"). Written by Gordon Wright and first published in 1950, this book stands the test of time with advice on choosing the right horse for you, care, and instruction from mounting your horse to gripping a polo mallet! It also has illustrations which are simple but endearing (if an illustration can be that!) This book is out of print, so if you are lucky enough to come across a copy, buy it!
