Synopsis

The formative training of a young horse is crucial to its future, making the difference between a positive, willing ride and a troubled under-achiever.

This book shows how international eventer, Pippa Funnell--well known for her ability to get the best out of the youngsters she rides--builds a successful bond with the young horse. Using Pippa's personal experience and specially commissioned photographs of the on-going training of her own horses, every step of the process is covered, from assessing potential and backing through to the first competition and beyond. Every rider, whatever their discipline, wants a rewarding partnership with their horse, and this book will show how to lay the essential early groundwork.
