Cover is white with green spine and gold lettering on spine. Pages are clean and tight. Illustrated with b/w photos. Women have been riding as long as men, but for some reason have been considered too fragile to compete in equestrian sports--now there's logic for you!

The reigning 2000 Olympic Dressage Champion is a woman, and the last 6 and more years the World Dressage Champion has been a woman. The 2000 USA Olympic jumping team was composed of all women, headed by Margie Goldstein, the leading American jumper for most of the past 10 years. We are equal to challenge! ; Remainder; B&W Photographs; 6 1/2 x 9 /2; 198 pages; Covers have slight edge wear; remainder mark on top of pages. DJ has light edge wear and rubbing.
