Principles of Riding: Official Instruction Handbook of the German National Equestrian Federation

This is a must read for anyone who owns and rides horses.
The German training scale is the most well renowned horse training system in the world, and aims at developing muscles and movment in the horse to prolong its life.
Fantastic book.

I am pleased with the book I got and the service as well.

thank you, Elona Meyronne

ps and yes I will label other items I purchased through Amazon - like the CD "talk to her"....
for which you debited me with 108 Sterling:
1 Cd (mentioning Album) but this Cd must be made of gold
it's also not the backsound to the movie Talk To Her
of Pedro Almodovar.

I will make sure to tell it to all my friends -
including your reply to me!!!!!!!!!

I would highly recommend this book to any serious rider. It covers the how to's of Horsemanship in great detail from beginning to advanced in classical form. This information can be used in almost any style of Horseback riding
