Review

“Being a product of practical jumping horsemanship, classical jumping horsemanship, and dressage, Anne Kursinski really has had it all. Very few people in the hunter/jumper industry can boast such a comprehensive background. There is no question that her system and ideology work for the hunter, jumper, and equitation horse and rider.” —George Morris, Chef d'equipe, 2011 US Show Jumping Team

5.0 out of 5 stars An Intermediate Rider's Bible, Jan 26 2003

By

Anne (Aurora, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Anne Kursinski's Riding (Hardcover)

This book exceeded my expectations. As an intermediate rider, the combination of multiple illustrations and accompaning technical commentary is instrumental. This book covers basic flat work and jumping and makes the "upward transition" to advanced work. Anne Kursinski's written style uses common sense and visual imagery. After reading each chapter, I couldn't wait to try out her techniques on my horse.

If you want to become more connected with your horse through feel and athletic ability, this book will work for you.

Anne teaches you to communicate with your horse physically and emotionally. A combination that is essential but understated.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource, Jan 1 2002

By

Danielle Gulbrandsen (Harrisonburg, VA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Anne Kursinski's Riding (Hardcover)

This book is a great resource for any serious rider who wants to improve their skills. I was able to not only use Anne's theories in my own riding but also apply them to my students. She explains everything in a very straight forward manner with lots of illustrations for the many exercises she gives. Since I live in an area where the closest jumper trainer is almost 2 hours away, this was a great way to get new ideas to tackle problems and master the basics. Highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to better themselves as a rider.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great!
I think it is just a graet book, if you are new or if you are checking details. It has a lot a information and very tiny but important details.
