Successfull Dressage

Illustrated with over 130 specially commissioned photographs and line-drawings, this book is an invaluable guide to the selection, management and training of the dressage horse.

Moving progressively through the levels of dressage competition, there is expert and detailed advice on how to implement specific training programmes, schooling methods and techniques; and the work and movements required at each stage are explained. Finally, the author pauses to asses and consolidate progress, encouraging the reader with her own boundless enthusiasm to move on to the next level.
