This book provides a collection of exercises both on the flat and over jumps, specifically designed for use in training more experienced riders and horses, whether in groups, as individuals or schooling at home.
The book is divided into groups of relevant exercises, each accompanied by a full description, the relevant aids, teaching hints and advice on remedying typical faults.
The exercises contained within the book aim to improve:
In the horse - rhythm, impulsion, balance, elasticity, straightness, athleticism, suppleness, obedience and self carriage.
In the rider - balance, effectiveness, accuracy, co-ordination, forward planning, feel, and the ability to 'see a stride' when jumping.
