"A Leg at Each Corner covers the whole field of equitation from how to get a pony to how to prevent one from getting you; from how to pull his tail to how to bandage your legs." Norman Thelwell's information is short and to the point, and each item is illustrated with deadly clarity. It is designed to be referred to in an emergency - at the walk, trot or canter, or from the depths of a blackthorn hedge. ( )

I've read this numerous times & it still makes me chuckle all the way through. It's a book about kids & their hunter/jumper ponies. Each page is a cartoon, usually just one frame, that is absolutely perfect. I grew up & raised my 3 kids with ponies like this, so it really speaks to me. It would probably be a great way for authors to learn a bit more about horse life, too. ( )
