Good resource for a niche market
I've volunteered at a NARHA endorsed center for the last 18 years so I picked this up as a suplement to what I've learned "on the job".

While this book is aimed at the niche market of those of us who work at therapeutic riding centers, it is a good resource none the less.There is ample information regarding all aspects of therapeutic riding lessons.There are sections of the book aimed specifically at volunteers; while other sections are geared more towards instructors.Also included are sections on handicaps and how to work with those particular riders as both an instructor and volunteer.

As a senior volunteer at my local center, I'm thinking that this book might become required reading for some of my other volunteers who truly love helping but need a little extra reading to reinforce what they are already doing.

Now, while the content is very well done, I still find myself cringing while reading for the shear number of grammar, spelling and editing errors.This book may be copyright 1989, but I do believe that the word processing programs of that time did have spell check.Maybe paying a proofreader/editor would have solved part of the problem.

For the serious RDA coach

Book binding is falling apart
I have actually checked "YES" for the review comments of Christopher Lim (Substance without flash) which in my opinion is the best comment that describes Ienatsch's book. After reading this book and applying what I have learnt from it to real life, I have realized that I was doing somethings in a wrong way that I thought I understood correctly from Code's book (okay, english is not my native language but my english is not bad). Code's book widened my horizon and gave a lot of valueable information. Ienatsch's book filed in the gaps and made it clearer.

I have only one disappointment about the book but it is not content related. It is about the book itself. I am very careful about my books, I never fold back the pages that I already read to hold the book in one hand, or never try to open them fully or flatten the midsection or so. But this book has just fallen apart after the first reading. Now there is nothing that holds the first 30-35 pages, they are simply separated from the book. I guess the binding quality is not very high. Handle carefully!

Sport Ridning Techniques
Good book for everyone who rides a bike. There are no secret, earth shattering revelations, (maybe none exist) but it does contain "all" the tips and skills for advanced riding and should be a part of everyones library. I highly recommend this book.

Brilliant read
I was a big fan of the magazine "Sport Rider" while Nick was editor there. I think he has continued an excellent approach/attitude to motorcycling in writing this book. I believe it caters for the full gamut of riders, very experienced to novice. I would rate it right up there with the "Twist of the Wrist" books, it may be of even more value to some people. He manages to get across the information ineasy to understand explanations & excellent colour pictures. If you were just to buy one book about motorcycle riding technique then this should be the one.

A MUST READ FOR ALL STREET RIDER
Nick Ienatsch makes it easy for anyone to read Sport Riding Techniques.The riding techniques and side stories he discribes are easy to Imagine,and even easer to practice due to the bounty of crystal clear photos available in this book(manual).

Good, not great.
I can appreciate Nick's lifelong experience, but as an self-described intermediate rider looking to go that extra step, I found this book MILDLY disappointing.Mostly just common sense.There were a few solid tips and guidelines but nothing revolutionary.Maybe my expectations were a bit misguided."Get as much seat time as possible." "Work on gently using the brakes and throttle."It just seemed geared more toward a rank beginner. Discussions on traction and lean angle were informative but not enlightening.For less than 20 bucks, it's a worthwhile read.That same amount of time spent riding and improving would be just as helpful.

Armstrong TX is not on the main rodeo circuit, which explains how a beatup bronc rider like Larry Miller was able to wangle an invitation, all expenses paid.He didn't last out the ten seconds of his first ride but ended in the infirmary where he met Martha Daniels who has short hair, slim hips, and a mouth that tastes like peaches.

He met her again at the Longhorn Dance Hall, where she invited him to go with her to church that Sunday.But when he showed up at her door, the only one home was her thirteen-year old son Tim, all arms and legs and the common sense of a month-old spaniel.

While searching for Martha, Larry must continue to compete in the rodeo, keep Tim out of misadventures, fight off the advances of two nymphomaniac housewives, and break up a drug distribution ring.Unfortunately, Artie Daniels, Martha's ex-husband, doesn't pay for the dope he buys or return the money he borrows to pay for it.Threats come from every direction, but Larry does make one importantnew friend, Lionel, a 6' 3" 250 pound enforcer for a loan shark.More important, he finds a way to come to grips with his own aging body and his need for a new career.
