The book is divided into groups of related exercises, each exercise accompanied by a full explanation including the aids, teaching hints, advice on likely problems, safety and suggested variations.

School Exercises for Flatwork & Jumping,
By "cemmon71" (Cumberland, ME USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: School Exercises for Flatwork and Jumping (Paperback)
I have owned this book for 5 years and think it is one of the better, simplified handbooks for riders and instructors alike. It has clear, concise diagrams, explanations and ways to problem solve for each exercise, so that even a novice rider or beginning instructor could easily understand the exercises and the reasons for them. We were memebers of US Pony Club growing up and one of our primary focuses around horses was and is always safety. The author offers very helpful ways to deal with possible problems/outcomes during the exercises so that not just the "how" is covered, but the "why" as well. When instructing novice riders or children, this approach is particularly helpful. For someone schooling horses on their own, these ideas are most helpful in creating a positive experience for both horse and rider. I would recommend this book to any equestrian.
