Product Description
A fully illustrated guide to the time-honored art of training horses in hand.
From the Publisher
For centuries, horses have been trained in hand within the classical schools of riding; yet today, work in hand is often forgotten, set aside as unimportant, or thought by modern trainers to be too time-consuming. This is unfortunate, because there is much to teach horses from the ground. German trainer Richard Hinrichs, an acknowledged expert on schooling in hand, explains how in-hand work builds trust, obedience, and balance in the horse, and complements work under saddle. With clear explanations and abundant color photos and drawings, all the techniques of schooling in hand are covered, including: aids and their application; work on the longe; long reining; suppling and collection; shoulder-in and half-pass; preparation for piaffe and passage; the Spanish walk; and even basic airs above the ground. An excellent book for trainers of all levels. As a young man in Vienna, Richard Hinrichs was schooled by a member of the Spanish Riding School. Today, Hinrichs trains, teaches, and performs widely with his Lippizaner and Andalusian horses, demonstrating the fine art of classical horsemanship.

GREAT, but for professionals!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Schooling Horses in Hand: A Means of Suppling and Collection (Hardcover)
I'm a reader from Germany and I've met Richard Hinrichs a few times. He actually gives some of my friends lessons and I think he's one of the greatest horseman of the 21st century. His book is well-structured and easy to understand and you can almost "feel" the sensitiveness in his way to train horses, but it's necessary that everybody who want to go "his" way with horses had lessons in the past and experiences with this kind of classical dressage.So is this book really great for professionals and for look up in connection with a professional training but bad to get completely new in this science!!!!!!!!!!!

This review is from: Schooling Horses in Hand: A Means of Suppling and Collection (Hardcover)
...His book is well structured and good to understand, but it's better to have more experience in working with horses and especially in classical riding. Who don't want to ruin the horse has to take lessons by an well trained horse man, before...But: The book is really great, check this out!!!!!

NOW the DVD makes more sense!!!,
By Andrea L. Duncan - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Schooling Horses in Hand: A Means of Suppling and Collection (Hardcover)
What was missed in the DVD is covered in detail in this book. Very concise, lots of instructional diagrams & photos - the exercizes in the DVD are clearly explained. Should be sold as a package!
