Synopsis

Whether you are a novice rider just starting out or an advanced rider wanting to improve, this book can help you to perfect your basic technique. It explains succinctly how exercises involving three aspects of riding—stop, go, and turn—can be used separately and combined to enable you to establish a correct training regime, whether you are starting a young horse or retraining an older one.

The outcome of being able to stop, go, and turn with ease means your horse is well balanced, attentive to the aids, and able to work "through his back," and this can only be achieved when you, the rider, have a correct position and give clear aids. This book shows you how.
