Review

Horse lovers will find this a winning title, using words and pictures to demonstrate winning riding techniques so they can be studied and applied by riders. The analysis of jumping courses and advanced strategies will be particularly appreciated; but exercises throughout provide key instruction on all aspects of riding. -- Midwest Book Review

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for any serious equine library., September 3, 1999
This review is from: Anne Kursinski's Riding and Jumping Clinic: A Step-by-Step Course for Winning in the Hunter and Jumper Rings (Hardcover)
Anne Kursinski has not only achieved international success as a U.S. Equestrian Team member, but has also established herself as a highly sought after instructor, clinician and now author. I've always admired her exquisite riding style, and she now shares her wisdom and systematic program with readers/riders. Her explanations are straightforward and concise with a true concern for both horse and rider. Beyond her abilities as a world class equestrian, Ms. Kursinski's level of horsemanship is unsurpassed as evidenced by her explanation/demonstration/review of each exercise she recommends, whether it is basic flat work or negotiating a cross-country course. Her flat work exercises provide such a solid foundation that can be used for any riding discipline. I am a nationally certified riding instructor who has also trained with some great instructors, and I've learned more from this book than from any other trainer I've worked with in several years. This book should be considered a must not just for competitive riders, but for anyone who truly wants to improve their riding and communication skills with their horse.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear photos, descriptive text...a great resource!, October 13, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Anne Kursinski's Riding and Jumping Clinic: A Step-by-Step Course for Winning in the Hunter and Jumper Rings (Hardcover)
I refer to this book often as I progress with training. It's great to see why the rudimentary exercises I'm working on now as a beginner become so crucial down the line. The photos detail every move and show the perfect form of an excellent rider. The author communicates the important stuff without a lot of preachiness often found in books by people at the top of their game. It's carefully laid out and easy to follow...a great addition to any serious rider's library (even novices!).

5.0 out of 5 stars Almost like having Anne Kursinski as your instructor, December 29, 1999
This review is from: Anne Kursinski's Riding and Jumping Clinic: A Step-by-Step Course for Winning in the Hunter and Jumper Rings (Hardcover)
This book helped me a lot with my riding style and the communication with my horses. I feel I have improved a lot and rereading it is helping me even more. The way it is written is very clear because it is just like having separate lessons. It encourages you to try to improve each area at a time, what makes it very manageable and helps you to focus on doing things well. I HIGHLY recommend this book to show jumpers, it is the BEST show jumping book I have. I feel Anne Kursinki has taught me a lot this past few months!
