The book begins with advice on handling untrained youngsters and works through a logical training progression, culminating in advanced dressage movements. Straightforward guidance is given on: Training foals and young horses ; Lungeing equipment and technique; Introducing long-reins and early lateral work; Backing and riding young horses; Lungeing over poles and fences; Advanced long-reining - including cantering, rein-back, shoulder-in, travers, half-pirouettes, half-pass, renvers, canter half-pass, canter pirouettes and tempi flying changes; Piaffe and passage.
Anyone that trains dressage horses will love this book! It is great,with photos of most techniques and movements described. It is written by a trainer with great knowledge of horses and their behaviour! I loved it enough to buy her other books!
