Jane Kidd, an internationally successful dressage competitor and editor of such notable horse books as The Way of the Horse: How to See the World Through His Eyes, has written this practical and informative guide to the essentials of dressage, a method of classical schooling as well as a competitive equestrian sport. Kidd focuses on the beginning and intermediate rider, using easy-to-follow guidelines and tips as well as many color photographs that demonstrate riding techniques, diagrams, and sample dressage tests. Also included are commonsense methods for getting you and your horse in shape for dressage at any level, making Kidd's expert advice appropriate for all who enjoy the sport. From basic training methods to problems and corrections, dressage riders will find this book an excellent resource. --Julia King

Best Ever, good tools, right terms July 20, 2004

This is not only full of good information, not fantasy, but explains the why it works in more than one way. It is not an elitist method but a proven one, one of common sense and good sense. This helps in not only training the horse but the rider. It does away with many misconceptions and gives the no frill basic method that really works. BRAVO
A Great Training Book!!!!! March 31, 2004

The pictures in this book are wonderful! They are taken from all the right angels, and show you not only how it looks when done right, but also faults, which is VERY heplful. All the training tips are so well organized, with aims for the correct movements, as well as practical problems and solutions that you can try.
