Good book for a novice rider

[Supertrooper]

Looking to get a book for a friend, if possible covering all the basics of horse care and riding.

Any recommendations pls xx

Most of the books, I've thumbed through over the years are out of printStill have them and they have stood the test of time.

William Micklem's book published by dorling kindersley is very good. Covers all the basics but goes beyond too. I would recommend that for an adult novice.
