Horses for Courses

I started writing this book many years ago and it has just been gathering dust as I did not know the process involved in getting a book published. However I went on a holiday to Malaysia and I was telling a lady friend I had just met that I had enough information about horses to write three books. The first one is for beginners. Without my knowledge she contacted a book publisher and started the ball rolling. For myself learning about horses was all hands-on working and learning over many years. However these days new riders are learning from TAFE courses riding schools pony clubs books and the internet. In my day this was not the case. I left home at the age of fourteen to start learning about horses as from a very early age I knew I wanted to be a jockey. My love for horses has never faded.
