Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Equestrian competition is a fluid melding of horse and rider. But the grace and beauty one sees in the competition ring does not just happen. Like any sport, it is the result of hours of practice. Allen, a former international competitive rider, licensed judge, and Olympic course designer, offers a series of exercises for horse and rider designed to isolate and master specific skills. The increasingly complex exercises conclude with skills for more advanced riders, but she begins with basic skills, such as the walk and trot. Throughout she emphasizes straightness, calmness, balance, and rhythm. She also defines terminology along the way, so novices can build their equestrian vocabulary. Each exercise includes a detailed diagram as well as an explanation of its purpose and benefits. Included are a glossary, index, and brief professional biographies of additional contributors. Carefully structured, well written, and effectively illustrated, this is an excellent addition to collections whose patrons have exhibited an interest in horses and equestrian sports. Wes Lukowsky

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent - another must have., October 30, 2004
By J. Skaife (Lafayette, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I haven't even finished reading this book yet, but I just have to say how fabulous it is. I have just started my youngster over fences and have found this guide invaluable already, with 25 exercises involving just ground poles, it is already well used. The exercises build up in difficulty so you are always making progress and at the same time having fun and educational schooling sessions with your horse. I think there is something for everyone, beginner to advanced.
As a budget conscious rider training predominantly on my own, I have found these types of guides priceless (see my other reviews) and they have really helped me to formulate a schooling plan each week and our progress has been very rewarding. I noticed that other riders at the barn were using the poles I left out in the arena and so I started posting the excercises on the bulleting board each week - inspiring everyone and creating great feedback and support. I know this is a book I will get a lot of use out of!

5.0 out of 5 stars 101 Jumping Exercises for Horse & Rider , August 2, 2005
By Lisa Marshall (Destin, FL) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought the book originally to add some variety to my training sessions and to obtain ideas on different exercises. Now both my trainer and I do not jump without the book close by. The different grid exercises have added so much to our workouts! Not only has it helped our horses become more confident it has helped our equitation tremendously. I would highly recommend this book for both beginers and the more experienced rider!

5.0 out of 5 stars Complete and comprehensive, November 29, 2002
By A Customer
Finally, a complete, comprehensive book of gymnastic exercises from the ground up - in an easy to use format! Great for someone aspiring to jump, as well as someone looking to improve their flatwork. If you can jump through all these gymnastics by the woman who designed the Jumping courses for the Atlanta Olympic Games, you are definitely headed in the right direction! Plus, the guest list includes three (multiple!) Gold medalists and other leading riders and trainers. A must have for the Equestrian library!
