Excellent work
Review date: 2008-11-29 Rating: 10 out of 10
This is not a book for dipping into and garnering a small amount of information. This is a serious, reasoned and very well illustrated manual that already has had a profound and positive effect on my riding.
Most other dressage books, as the writer of this well produced tome points out, assume that we are all blessed with top notch, specifically bred, perfectly conformed dressage horses. This book, rightly, does not.
The author makes an interesting and valid comparison between the 'classic' dressage riders of 50 or so years ago and the modern 'competition' riders of today.
In short, this is a book to study, use well and consider carefully. A very worthwhile purchase for the dressage rider of today who wishes more from their horse and their technique.

Outstanding Dressage Reference!

I highly recommend every serious dressage rider get this book and read it over and over again. It will save you and your horse(s) untold frustration in following the FEI (German) method of training which is not horse-centered or even logical. This book is a great companion to Philippe Karl's four part DVD series and explains things more thoroughly than on the DVDs.
