5.0 out of 5 stars The best ever!, Aug 20 2001
By 
Texas horse lover (Rosharon, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dressage: A Study of the Finer Points of Riding / By Henry Wynmalen (Paperback)
I bought the hardback version of this book in the 1950's and it has been the one I have used most ever since. Dressage itself is a useful training method for all disciplines. Wynmalen makes the "how-to" clear to those of us who do not have access to a teacher. In the 1950's I didn't even have access to videos to show how the exercises were supposed to look and feel when done right, yet the book made almost everything clear -- about the only thing I didn't understand from the book alone was the half-halt. Wynmalen's irreplaceable contribution is in the respect he shows the horse, which leads to understanding. His focus is on better communication and performance, not show success (although he had that too). A gentle, understanding, master at work. Other favorites of mine are The Schooling of the Western Horse, by John Richard Young, and the works of Mark Rashid -- start with A Good Horse is Never a Bad Color. The Rashid works are for those who know the basic cues, since he doesn't cover that.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book of rider studies, April 22 2001
By 
K. Wright (Wyalong, NSW Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dressage: A Study of the Finer Points of Riding / By Henry Wynmalen (Paperback)
This book....what can I say? It literally is the best book written on riding I have yet come across. Ironic, isn't it, that I am not an English rider, but a Western rider and still found this book to be of great help. Yes, help. It describes in graphic detail what you should really understand before even thinking about mounting a horse, plus tips and guidelines on what you should know when you do mount a horse.

I really did find this book invaluable. I have owned it for years and I'm still learning from it. I find it absolutely great for references.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who rides horses, and to those who don't, just so they can truly understand the significance of horse intelligence and human/horse companionship.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still one of the best of its kind, Sep 13 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Dressage: A Study of the Finer Points of Riding / By Henry Wynmalen (Paperback)
This book is remarkable in that the author always puts the horse first. Written in 1952 the author is thoroughly modern in stressing the establishment of a dialogue with the horse. Bear with the language of the early 1900s and be enlightened!
