Dressage is growing faster among young people than most other equestrian sports, and the aim of this book is to help those who want to learn, improve and eventually become winners. Simple to read, straightforward in its approach, colourful and clear in its design, To Be A Dressage Rider has a unique underlying purpose: to point out and explain aspects of the sport that the author feels, have been neglected in English-speaking coutries.
The author believes that most UK riders are hugely successful at getting on with horses and jumping them across country, but when it comes to dressage, they tend to brush aside the need to work on themselves in order to attain a balanced position. She also believes that though they can persuade their horses to carry out all manner of movements and command obedience, they are not so good at concentrating on the basics and making the most of their horse's athleticism. For both rider and horse, focusing on these fundamentals is the way forward - whether to win rosettes in the Pony Club or medals on the international scene.
