5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorite finds, February 16, 2001
By A Customer
Klimke clearly and logically lays out the foundations of basic training. The information is easy to read, concise and shows a deep understanding and respect of the horse. There is much more packed between the covers than I expected. An excellent, excellent read for anyone who works with horses.

4.0 out of 5 stars Compact, yet informative., January 11, 2004
By J. Skaife (Lafayette, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This compact, informative and economical guide to starting young horses provides an excellent overview of training the young horse, from early ground work to starting over fences. Although the book is dated, the German scale of basic training principles is timeless and very much en vogue in the dressage community today. Based on sound principles and written by an accomplished horseman, this is one to read.
UPDATE - A year since my original review this has been the book I refer back to most of all, I think because of the handy size. Therefore, this book is well worth the money!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Klimke explains the early training well, July 14, 1999
By A Customer
This book does a great job of explaining and outlining the early training of the dressage horse, from ground training to work under saddle. I have used it as a reference for several articles I have written on dressage theory.
