Part of a six book series on all things involving a horse and a rider, Intro to Eventing is a great introduction to three main events of the equine triathlon: dressage, cross-country and show jumping. The book starts with a story from the 2000 Olympics and then moves into the history of the sport. After that, the chapters move into each part of the triathlon with a discussion of what is is, equipment and attire needed, the scoring and some strategies. There are photos throughout and a page with further internet resources. Typical nonfiction features include a table of contents, glossary and index. Your horse-loving kids will keep this book checked out.
