This book is the best I have read for a comprehensive text on training and riding. Everything is explained clearly with wonderful diagrams. The details that are so important to understanding the purpose and use of a technique are spelled out, rather than glossed over. A philosophy of sound horsemanship pervades the book, I HOPE it gets reprinted so I can recommend it to students.
The best book on riding I have ever read. It is my Bible

This outstanding book gives a firm foundation in all branches of Equitation. It is a disaster for it to be out of print. I "loaned" my first copy and it was not returned. It took me 5 years and much research to find another. Publisher...PLEASE re-print it. It is a Classic.I train Event Horses to top level (World Games Medalist, years ago) and also start off young horses for steeplechasing.The contents of this book "Effective Horsemanship" are just that..exactly. It gave me a foundation. My teachers over the last 25 years have really only just guided my application of Noel Jackson's written word. Now it is a perfect refresher whenever I wish to "brush-up".I really could not manage a horsey career without it!!
