Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Showing how best to tackle a range of fences selected from actual cross-country events, this book follows rider Leslie Law and his horses through a range of events at novice, intermediate and advanced levels. Every course asks different questions of the horses and riders who tackle it, and every course designer has a different aim in mind when planning a course. Some concentrate on speed and boldness, others on an increased degree of accuracy, and the competitors' technical ability is continually tested by new fences and combinations. The book examines how Law deals with each of the fences featured, and sequence photography records his experiences on different horses. The problems which he and other competitors encountered, and how his performance might have been improved, are considered, and there is an insight into the world of the course designer, with first-hand explanations of the object of particular fences and how each one relates to the course as a whole.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for any rider, April 12, 1999

By A Customer

This book is great for any rider interested in learning the cross country riding. He not only talks about his horses and the jumps that you will encounter but he also goes into fitness training. The book is one for the shelf, even if you have never been really serious about cross country riding.
