Let’s Go Riding is an encouraging guide for young riders learning how to understand, care for and ride horses safely. Drawing on Valerie Bruce’s long involvement with New Zealand pony clubs and horse breeding, the book introduces the practical foundations that turn enthusiasm into responsible horsemanship. Readers are guided through approaching and handling a pony, grooming, saddling, basic stable care and the first principles of position and control in the saddle. Clear instruction emphasises confidence, kindness and awareness of the animal, helping beginners see riding as a partnership rather than simply a sport. Written for the rider starting out and useful to families supporting a new interest, it captures the pleasure of pony-club learning while reinforcing the habits that keep both horse and rider safe.
