Book recommendations

[MmeHibou]

Hi there

I learned to ride in Germany but now I am living in the UK. When I first moved here I was had a few private lessons at the local riding school. Now I want to take up group lessons again and look for a horse share later on in the year.
Since my English is quite good, I generally get all those horse specific expression from the context. However I would like to get a few books to learn the horsey vocabulary.

Any recommendations? It should cover the basics but also go a bit further since I'm an intermediate rider. It should cove stable management, some horse anatomy and illnesses, different disciplines,...

Thanks for your help!

Autobiography of Nick Skelton is good. It's over 10 years old, but the language is the same .

There's also a brilliant Horsemans Dictionary which covers anything and everything in every discipline .
It is in English, French, German, Italian and Spanish.

Thanks for your tips.
The autobiography looks interesting although I was more looking for a reference book/specialised book.
I found the dictionary on the BHS website though, looks as it could be useful
