Over 200 photos & illustrations combined with the author's instructive text make for one of the most useful books on dressage ever offered. Sound practical advice is presented on the progressive training of the horse. For less than the cost of one riding lesson, this may be the most dog-eared book on your riding bookshelf!
As Robert Dover says in his Foreword, "Sally O'Connor has devoted her life to the equestrian world with particular emphasis on the art of training."
She credits the training techmniques presented here to her work with great trainers, among them Betty Howett, Lockie Richards, Franz Rockowansky, and Nuno Oliveira, to whom the books is dedicated.
Ms. O'Connor is a USEF and international judge for both dressage and eventing, and judges and teaches clinics all over the U.S. and the world.
