This review is from: Dressage for Beginners (Paperback)

I've had this book for over 30 years. It is the "go-to" book for solving problems with young dressage prospects and for teaching dressage to beginning riders. I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in classical riding.

This review is from: Dressage for Beginners (Paperback)

_Dressage for Beginners_ provides beginner riders and even experienced horsemen from other disciplines with a good overview of the sport of riding figures. Well illustrated, it also provides simple graphics of fundamental positions required of both horse and rider. I have extra copies on my bookshelf to loan to students.
