Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The formative training of a young horse is crucial to its future, making the difference between a positive, willing ride and a troubled under-achiever.

This book shows how international eventer, Pippa Funnell--well known for her ability to get the best out of the youngsters she rides--builds a successful bond with the young horse. Using Pippa's personal experience and specially commissioned photographs of the on-going training of her own horses, every step of the process is covered, from assessing potential and backing through to the first competition and beyond. Every rider, whatever their discipline, wants a rewarding partnership with their horse, and this book will show how to lay the essential early groundwork.

About the Author
Pippa Funnell's first big title was winning the 1987 European Young Rider. In 2000 she won silver with the Olympic team and in became European champion for the second time. She was the first ever rider to win the Rolex Grand Slam in 2003 and is part of Great Britain's eventing Olympic team for Athens. She has also earned a reputation for producing good horses out of unproven youngsters. Pippa lives in Surrey, England. Kate Green is a freelance author and journalist and eventing correspondent for Horse & Hound magazine. Her previous books, all published with David & Charles, are Schooling for Success (with William Fox-Pitt) and Training the Cross-country Horse (with Andrew Nicholson). Kate lives in Newbury, Berkshire.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent guide for training the young event horse., January 11, 2004
By J. Skaife (Lafayette, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
How can you not be a fan of Rolex Grand Slam winner, Pippa Funnell - an inspiration to all riders. As you'll discover in this book, she's down to earth and modest about her success. She admits to being "a bit soppy with my horses"; but what that translates to is a genuine respect for the horse and a true understanding of partnership. Similar to the book by Jennie Loriston-Clarke, "The Young Horse, Breaking and Training" (see my review), this book covers a lot of material, but nonetheless provides a structured program for training the youngster and an excellent starting point for future reading into specific areas. It also gives trouble shooting advice for when things don't go as planned and is well illustrated with photographs. An enjoyable read, I highly recommend.

4.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended, October 12, 2008
I highly respect Pippa Funnel, and this book is just wonderful. I have a young horse that I'm schooling and it helped me to understand just how important the basics are for a young horse, and how to go about introducing them to certain things. I especially found the jumping section very helpful. This book has big, glossy colour pictures throughout, and very easy to understand instructions which explain how to go about each new schooling exercise. It also shows what not to do, which is why I gave this book 4 stars and not 3. Showing what's wrong and the outcome of what could happen if approached wrong really sold this book to me, because there are many books out there which tell you what to do, but not how to recover when anything goes wrong.
