This book has little to do with the title!, 11 Feb 1999
By A Customer
I was so dissappointed with the content of this book I decided to write this review. The book title is "Dressage by the Letter", but the book NEVER addresses Dressage technique. The chapters are:1. Dressage--An Overview: discusses the history of Dressage. 2. Your Horse's Suitabiltiy. This is so standard I could have written it from any horse magazine. 3. Getting Started. This chapter describes conditioning and has no specific relevance. 4. Finding the right instructor. Duhh. 5. Getting the most out of lessons. I could be taking clarinet lessons for all of the specific relevance! 6. Maintaining your schedule. See comment 5. 7. Other training methods. I thought this book would have some specific information about Dressage. It does not. 8. Preparing for your first show. I have been involved in jumping and showing for over 20 years and this chapter may as well of been written for first year walk-trot-canter pony shows. 9. Success on show day. See comment #8. 10. Moving forward, Moving up. This is a chapter on horse care, not Dressage. In conclusion, this book has little if nothing to do with the title. I expected a Dressage training guide with insight. Not a generic horse maintenance book. This Is A RipOff. Can I get my money back?
