I love reading this book. It has helped me sooo much in passing my ratings even though I'm only a D2.It is really important to study this manual even if you may be just a D. I'm trying to qualify to go to nationals in Quiz this year as a D2, and even last year as a D1 at last year's Quiz rally I noticed that studying the C manual really helped me and my team win first. Everyone on my team qualified for nationals in Quiz last year because we practically had the entire C manual memorized. (Technically 2 of us (including me) didn't qualify because we were only D1's, but the judges accidentally made the mistake of calling us up anyways, only to be reminded later that D1's aren't allowed to qualify for nationals.) The only subject it's missing that the judges always catch us on at Quiz is Fox hunting. I am once again working on memorizing the C manual as I study for my D3 rating and the Quiz rally. It is very helpful and is a joy to read and memorize. I hope you enjoy it too.Read full review
All of the USPC books are excellent manuals for riding and instruction. Although the dialogue is written for young children, I often gift copies of these books to adults with the caveat that it's written with references to "ponies" and the "pony clubber". All of these manuals are wonderful at explaining everything from "this is a horse" up to building skills for Grand Prix jumping or Prix St. George Dressage tests. The foundation in knowledge, safety, concepts and follow-through that this book imparts is worth it's weight in gold. A must for any beginning rider or instructor or any seasoned rider wishing to improve their skills through insight and education.
Whole series very helpful for horse owners and riders of any age.
