5.0 out of 5 stars fantastic, March 19, 1999

This review is from: Dressage with Kyra: The Kyra Kyrklund Training Method (Hardcover)

in a simple, systematic way, kyra has been able (with Jytte), to explain how to progress through training to grand prix while still retaining the thought that horses are not perfect and not all horses will be able to do as she describes, bu that the movemnet and quality will be improved. Recommended highly to all levels (it helps if you've ridden before.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Change of Opinion, June 14, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Dressage with Kyra: The Kyra Kyrklund Training Method (Hardcover)

Initially, I purchased this book and was very unhappy with the choice of pictures. I think many of the horses look like they are fighting. BUT, I saw Kyra in person and she was excellent; very soft and gentle handling of the horses. No yanking or cranking. She insisted on more relaxed necks. So, I decided to give the book another chance and I am glad I did. Kyra gives really excellent descriptions and techniques that you can use right away.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clearly the best book on dressage in a long time, January 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Dressage with Kyra: The Kyra Kyrklund Training Method (Hardcover)

Kyra writes as clearly as she teaches and rides. Her explanations are logical and simple, but not simplistic! This is a great aid for understanding dressage and the perspective of the horse.
