The First Read and Ride Guide to Dressage.
Schooling your horse in standard dressage techniques creates a firm foundation for all performance riding - whether your interest is in classical dressage or the wider arena of equestrian sport. Training in dressage brings the dedicated equestrian closer to that ultimate goal of oneness between horse and rider, improving every riding session.
Each of this book's 101 exercises features an arena diagram illustrating the elements of the routine. The chapters address different goals such as looseness, balance, lightness, rider position, lengthening the stride and perfecting flying changes. Regular schooling with these exercises will help you develop the skill and the "feel" desired by every rider, of every discipline.
This fabulous book is uniquely designed, plastic comb bound and drilled, and designed to be used while you are actually riding your horse.
