The ABCs of Trail Riding and Horse Camping: Essential Knowledge for Trail and Camp

This is the book I wanted when I started trail riding and camping with horses.

Experienced and aspiring trail riders and horse campers alike will enjoy and benefit from reading The ABCs of Trail Riding and Horse Camping. This book goes beyond the scope of traditional horse-riding texts, revealing hundreds of field-tested tips to improve your next outdoor adventure. With clear descriptions organized alphabetically for quick reference, this guide by veteran trail riding and camping clinician Robert Eversole divulges essential knowledge for every horse owner.

From Advocacy to Xenophon, The ABCs of Trail Riding and Horse Camping will help guide your equine journey onto the trails and into the horse camp of your dreams. With sections devoted to what to look for in a trail horse, training the horse once you’ve got him, trailering tips to get him to the trailhead safely, and even the outdoor skills you’ll need to know to make your equine adventures safer.

Chockfull of handy information ranging from the simple (e.g., groundwork that works) to the more complex (e.g., stopping trail snacking), this book will appeal to ardent trailblazers and more cautious trail riders alike. Indeed, for those prone to stay within an arena rather than venture further afield, Eversole’s trail anecdotes alone are enough to make this well worth a read. With Eversole’s tome in hand, your trail riding and horse camping journey will be all the more rewarding.

One of the great joys of trail riding on a good horse is leaving the beaten path and enjoying the simple pleasures of being out in nature. The ABCs of Trail Riding and Horse Camping presents a broad range of practical advice, including training tips for creating good trail horses, outdoor skills to increase safety and fun on the trail and in camp, and even what to look for in tack and camping equipment.
