5.0 out of 5 stars
Really a nice book for understanding what is going on with your horse during conditioning,
By
This review is from: Fit to Ride (Paperback)
I have owned this book for several years, and I LOVE IT! As a trail, event and perspective endurance rider I find this book to be the best at making me understand how the horses body works.
Mary Bromily provides info on both horse and rider fitness and often compares the two, its very handy knowing a lot of the differences between equine and human when using other fitness regimes. While much of what she has to say is very confusing at first, after you have read the book again you will start to understand what a wealth of knowlage there is there! This is deffinatly the best book I have read on how conditioning effects the horses body and how to correctly condition a horse. I highly recommend!
