Many riders imagine themselves soaring cleanly over fence after fence. But how can you master the essentials -- and get your horse to cooperate? Set a course for good habits right from the start with this practical guide. Choose a horse with potential, and no glaring defects in physique or temperament. Then, schedules and progressive exercises organize the training so you advance steadily and develop the correct skills. Each chapter presents a series of gridwork drills, all superbly illustrated and with a specific purpose in mind. Cope with combinations, improve your jump-off technique, prevent knock-downs and rushing, and cure the careless or naughty horse. Serial photographs illustrate proper form -- and typical faux pas. Aerial pictures even provide an overall view of the fence layouts and action. Clear your first hurdle right through to your first competition...when you'll have what it takes to cope with the trickiest combinations and come out a winner!
