The New Basic Training of the Young Horse,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The New Basic Training of the Young Horse: From the Education of the Young Foal to the First Competition (Hardcover)
I am a huge fan of both Ingrid and her father, however I was a bit disappointed in their book. They seem to talk about general things "you want this and not this", but don't tell you how to do "this" and not teach "this". If I knew how to do it I supposed I'd already know it was correct. I had hoped it was more specific for we riders who have not atttained FEI status. I would like to have seen more step by step on some of the big issues like ground control and how to have masterful hands. Some movements are explained, but not all.
It was interesting to read what they think is correct and how they manage and treat their horses. I'm not sure that this should be in every dressage trainer's library. Some of the other books by other master riders are much more helpful.

disappointed,
This review is from: The New Basic Training of the Young Horse: From the Education of the Young Foal to the First Competition (Hardcover)
I was disappointed with Klimke's basic training book. While it was interesting to read about their comprehensive training program for young dressage horses that includes eventing, the material was not specific enough to learn how to do any thing. The book covered way to much material in a general way and addressed too many audiences. So it did not really appeal to me. The books is very well designed with great pictures and format, but the text wonders. If you want to learn new techniques don't buy it. If you like to read general horse books with great pictures, it is worth buying.

Great for starting youngsters,
By Ann (Peoria, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The New Basic Training of the Young Horse: From the Education of the Young Foal to the First Competition (Hardcover)
I've been riding all my life, but wanted to understand some basic philosophies of getting a young jumper started. I found this book to be very helpful in laying that foundation. If you've never owned/ridden before, then you may want to seek some personalized attention from an experience horseperson. But if you're a good rider already, you'll enjoy this book.
