In a book that is part autobiography, part social and natural history, and part literary work, Midkiff views the special bond between horses and women.
Author offers clear instruction on his
unique methods of starting young horses as well as re–schooling those that
lack a good training foundation. Using techniques both on the ground and
under saddle, Schaffer reveals the key to success—teaching the horse to
soften and move into the rider’s hand.
In this memoir, she shares the ups and downs of her learning experience and the many challenges of her new surroundings. She writes of the numerous relationships that affected her stay in Germany: her connection with her teacher, her horse, other riders, and the local people. The author's voice is honest, intimate, and spiced with humor. This is a voyage of discovery on many levels.
While it deals comprehensively with all the
technical aspects of training, from breaking to the most advanced
movements, the book also offers many examples of the author’s philosophy:
to view riding and training essentially as an art form.
The amount of elaboration in this book about the true basics of classical riding makes it by far one of the best available dressage books on the market. The title of the book very much explains what it is about - the formula that will help you reach new heights with your horse.
A brilliant new book from Britain's National Champion, Carl Hester.

This is the best book on cavalletti to date. Packed with step-by-step information and illustrations, it will help any rider or trainer improve their horse's athletic ability. Written by dressage legend Dr. Reiner Klimke.
Not just another dressage book, this
book is unique in its own way. Some subjects that
are rarely covered are discussed in detail in
this book. It would make a good addition to a
collection of equestrian books.
Very useful
and detailed book. It makes horse training much
simpler than previously thought. Its richness in
information makes it very useful for the basic
training of any horse.
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 reference for the female rider. It is
entirely focused on the well-being of lady
equestrians in relation to health, fitness,
safety, and riding skills. Surprisingly valuable!
It's the definitive guide to winning
at competition. Not only does it discuss dressage
horse training, but its main objective is actual
preparation for competition from choosing your
tack to evaluating the judge's remarks.
Top

must occupy every horseperson's library. There's
more inspiration in this book than a dozen
equestrian books! You'll laugh, you'll cry,
you'll love it!

horses.

essential in the training of any serious rider,
this book is the most comprehensive in the market
about lunging. It covers lunging techniques,
equipment, exercises, and many other subjects.
Superb.
