While there are many excellent how-to books on dressage training, there are surprisingly few on dressage competition. Now, Dressage from A toX will prepare both the novice and the seasoned competitor for successful navigation of all the little, and not so little, elements of training and showing a dressage horse. It covers: the selection of a horse, equipment, and clothing; training the horse and rider mentally and physically for competition; locating shows and completing entry forms; traveling and show grooming; memorizing, practicing, and riding a test; evaluating judges' remarks; strategies for advancement; and much more. No more trial-and-error fumbling through shows, trying to figure out what is expected of you and your horse--it's all here in Dressage from A toX! Barbara Burkhardt has taught riding for35 years, specializing in dressage since1975. She is an active rider, judge, and show manager residing in Los Lunas, New Mexico.
From the Publisher: While there are many excellent books on the subject of dressage training, there are few that directly address the how–to of competing. From the basics of the sport to the minutest of details, the author provides information on preparing oneself and one’s horse mentally and physically, choosing shows and completing entry forms, memorizing and riding the dressage test, selecting and caring for appropriate and legal equipment, grooming, developing a warm–up, evaluating performance, and planning for future improvement. Barbara Burkhardt, a dressage instructor and competitor for over 35 years, has managed and judged numerous dressage competitions. She lives in Los Lunas, New Mexico.
