City Riders : A New York Story of Riding and Friendship Book

This is the story, in words and pictures, of three teenage girls the city riders of the title whose mutual love of horses fueled their friendship. It sustains them as they balance the demands of schoolwork and chores, the rigors of riding and horse showing, and the disappointments that are typical of young lives. Girls everywhere will be fascinated by these city riders, who take lessons at the oldest surviving public stable in Manhattan, and who groom their horses and clean their tack before heading out through busy streets to ride in Central Park. Roberta Fineberg is a freelance photographer whose work is part of permanent collections here and in France. She lives in New York City.
