Product Description
From Booklist
Equestrian competition is a fluid melding of horse and rider. But the grace and beauty one sees in the competition ring does not just happen. Like any sport, it is the result of hours of practice. Allen, a former international competitive rider, licensed judge, and Olympic course designer, offers a series of exercises for horse and rider designed to isolate and master specific skills. The increasingly complex exercises conclude with skills for more advanced riders, but she begins with basic skills, such as the walk and trot. Throughout she emphasizes straightness, calmness, balance, and rhythm. She also defines terminology along the way, so novices can build their equestrian vocabulary. Each exercise includes a detailed diagram as well as an explanation of its purpose and benefits. Included are a glossary, index, and brief professional biographies of additional contributors. Carefully structured, well written, and effectively illustrated, this is an excellent addition to collections whose patrons have exhibited an interest in horses and equestrian sports. Wes Lukowsky

5.0 out of 5 stars
A Great Book with Creative Excercises,
By
This review is from: 101 Jumping Exercises for Horse & Rider (Plastic Comb)
I've used this book all winter to help keep my horses in shape without jumping the 'big jumps'. There are a lot of excellent exercises at varying levels that will keep you and your horse interested in arena training. They have helped strengthen all of my horses and myself as a rider, and the winter riding is much more exciting. After mastering these exercises, there isn't anything that will pop up in the show ring we can't handle. Really a great book. I use something from it everyday.

Linda Allen puts many of her ideas into print and compiles some great exercises from other great horse folks. This is a book everyone can use! All the information is straight forward so anyone can understand them and use them without getting into trouble. I recommend it highly for anyone wanting to get the most out of their horses. Thanks Linda for putting this one together.
