If you don't understand what it means to get your horse on the bit and how to make contact with the horse's mouth, you will after watching this DVD carefully. Her back to basics approach is thorough and very helpful.

This book is great for anyone wanting to know the basics of what can make a dressage horse great by his/her conformation and to know what to look for when buying a potential dressage horse. great pictures, the book could have put in more pictures when comparing horses.

This wasn't the best book I have bought off amazon. I find that Anky's exerts contradict the main text by the author. Anky quite often begins her passages that she agrees with the author, then explains her view that doesn't necessarily agree with the author. If you are looking for some extra guidance on conformation and dressage, then by all means, give this book a try. However, do not take everything as gospel as there seems to be 2 point of views expressed in one book.

I absolutly love this book. The pictures are beautiful and the text is easy to read. The practical advice Anky gives to choosing a dressage horse is very clear and insightful. I highly reccommend reading this book before purchasing your next dressage horse!

Tells all about not only the best conformation for dressge horses but also movement and personality. It also talks about horses with less than ideal conformation becoming dressage horses. Great book for any dressage rider
