Full Description
Newly translated from the official instruction handbook of the German National Equestrian Federation, this is a revised and updated version of the dressage section of the former Advanced Techniques of Riding (now out of print), this teaching manual provides an instruction course in advanced level dressage for horse and rider, using the German training system; a clear and logical system that has consistently produced international champions for many decades. With line drawings throughout, it describes in detail the criteria governing each stage of dressage training; from transitions and extensions to piaffe and passage; giving the aids and training methods to be used for each movement or exercise. Respecting both purity and classical traditions, its aim is to create true harmony between rider and horse, and therefore mutual trust and confidence. Contents includes: *The Correct Dressage Seat *Special Tack and Equipment *The Principles of Training *Advanced Dressage Exercises *Working the Horse in Hand *Training Problems *Competitions
