5.0 out of 5 stars
Very complete; makes dressage training easy to understand,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dressage: A Guidebook for the Road to Success (Masters of Horsemanship Series, Bk 1) (Hardcover)
This book gives a very well organized presentation of how to progressively train a dressage horse. If you have ever wondered how a shoulder-in is different from a haunches-in and why we teach the shoulder-in first, this is your book. Most chapters are organized by exercise, from the easiest (e.g. leg yield) to the most difficult (e.g. piaffe). The chapter on flying changes is especially informative, giving several methods for teaching this movement to the horse and solutions to common problems. Many nice line drawings support the text. This book is short and easy to understand. It would be an excellent reference for the serious dressage rider.

Most Beneficial Book on Progressive Horse Training,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dressage: A Guidebook for the Road to Success (Masters of Horsemanship Series, Bk 1) (Hardcover)
This is honestly the most beneficial book I have ever read on horse training. It is very thorough in strategy and provides practical exercises and diagrams to assist in helping you to understand the purpose behind each movement and technique. I would recommend this to ANY rider at any level to help "connect the dots" in your training!
