Lost my copy years ago, glad to have another one in such good condition. Exercises are well written and easy to understand, and start from the very VERY basic up to intermediate level, with steps in between to build confidence in the novice rider or horse, or both.
Great reference book for beginner through instructor for green or finished horses. Packed full of information covering not only gymnastic work, but problem solving suggestions of exercises to use with different types of horse issues. I particularly like that the book begins with the foundation work through the more complicated for the experienced horses/riders, and is completely illustrated including measurements. There is something in here for all levels to use for improvement. Whether you do hunters, jumpers or event, there are exercises to improve your horses' ability. Great reference book for instructors.
Very, very happy with it. In fact, was so happy with it... I bought another one so I could work with the group with it.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
Just a great book- highly recommended to me, and lives up to the hype. I have a 5 year old warmblood that I am training to jump and the exercises are great and thorough. Now I will have plenty to do while I am away from my trainer for a few months!
It s a great book and gives you creative exercises for the arena. It shows visually exactly what to do. The beginning ones are easy but gradually get more difficult.
