Most general horsemanship books that I own are a bit too basic in focus. They discuss purchasing a horse, horse conformation, equipment, safety, feeding, and very, very basic riding. Not The Manual of Horsemanship. It's for the serious beginner or intermediate rider, covering all the basics plus additional riding techniques and more nuanced riding: getting your horse to accept the bit, bending techniques, advanced paces, jumping aids and rhythms, plus more. For such a compact book it packs an impressive amount of information. I've been riding since I was little, but it wasn't until college that I began taking huntseat lessons. I found the manual midway through college and it helped me think about better ways to communicate with my horse. It's the perfect intermediate guide, because most of the sport specific books get too technical quickly. **On an interesting note, it's British and I've come to think of their take on riding as a little more finessed--less goal oriented and more technique-focused (an opinion solely based on the US produced riding books and UK produced riding books that I've read).
