Riding with Reagan...good book

Not sure where this belongs, but I read a book a few years ago that I liked - Riding with Reagan. It is available at Amazon used for $0.01 plus shipping:

Amazon.com: Used and New: Riding with Reagan
A lengthy excerpt can be found here:

Regardless of what one thinks of his politics, it may be a long time before the US has another President who loves horses and rode like Reagan did...





The helmet fanatics would crucify him now...

Someone tell the Queen about helmets...

Great post, I had never seen photos of Reagan jumping before. I like your comments: it had never before occurred to me that heads of state don't protect their heads when riding. I guess the secret service can prevent people from having brain injuries? :)

The book was by a secret service agent. I gather they went nuts trying to figure out how to keep Reagan from getting hurt, when riding a horse of any sort can be dangerous. And Reagan wasn't a 'slow walk down the trail' kind of guy. He liked riding fast and jumping.

I don't get on a horse without a helmet, but the picture of Ronald Reagan and Queen Elizabeth 2 makes a person think about the changes in our society.

I also thought it was interesting that an actor who did westerns loved riding English!

Oh my gosh I had no idea that Reagan was an equestrian! This looks great, I will definitely read it. Thanks for posting!
