This review is from: 101 Hunter/Jumper Tips: Essentials for Riding on the Flat and over Fences (101 Tips) (Paperback)
The book has some good advice. I don't know how helpful it would be to the very experienced rider outside of it is always good to see it from another person's point of view. I found it informative and thankfully not over indulgent with explanations.

This review is from: 101 Hunter/Jumper Tips: Essentials for Riding on the Flat and over Fences (101 Tips) (Paperback)
While I can see how it might be fun to read all the little stories in it, the book can mostly be summed up with "learn how to keep your rhythm."
I agree with one of the other reviewers, a good rider should easily be able to do all the exercises in the book. For the price, a rider just beginning jumping would find a lot of really useful tips in this book.
