Synopsis

Riding at any level is a demanding and, at times, frustrating sport. Every rider encounters problems and experiences feelings of inadequacy, whether attempting to master a particular dressage movement or trying to summon up the courage to tackle a larger-than-usual showjumping course. Often this self-doubt can grow and grow until the problem seems insurmountable, and the subsequent disillusionment and loss of confidence will make the sport more of a pain than a pleasure. Written by two instructors who understand that everyone, from novice to top rider, can have doubts about their ability, this book encourages them to realize their full potential at their chosen level. It is a practical guide that aims to help every rider to get maximum enjoyment from the sport.
