This book is great, it has it all. From the unbroken youngster to the advanced SJ'er. I have and many teachers I know, swear on this book as if it were a Bible. It is so useful for striding and understanding how to cure and improve poor quality jumping in any horse at any level.

A super book for people needing real information
24 Nov 1997
Format:Hardcover
Equestrian training books present a special challenge because of the range of types of riding that exists within the sport. What is interesting to a beginner rider has absolutely no draw to the advanced rider. Anthony Paalman has managed to communicate his tremendous knowledge and experience into an understandable text that serves the purposes of both beginning riders and professional riders. In reading this book, the beginning rider will have the initial information necessary to understand the complexity of the sport, while the professional will gain insight and information on often used but little understood training techniques and equipment. There are also jumping exercises described in the book that are invaluable for all riders to begin to understand standard measurements and design of jumping courses and fences. When so many equestrian books limit themselves to the "heels down" manna that serves no purpose after the first week of riding, this book stands out in its insight on training horses.
