Competition riding in its many forms - dressage, showjumping and cross-country - is more popular than it has ever been. At the same time the levels of fitness and training required by both the competitors and their horses are getting higher, and the general standard of competition is getting tougher. There is a definite need for an authoritative and comprehensive manual covering all aspects of training the competition horse and rider, and Monty Mortimer has used his years of experience as a trainer (to Olympic standard) to produce this excellent book. The widely varying temperaments and personalities of both horses and riders, particularly under the stress of competition conditions, can be a real headache for any trainer, and the author pays particular attention to tackling this problem. Part of the fascination of training horses is that no two animals are alike, and the advice offered here, combined with experience and a sympathetic understanding of the horse, will help any trainer master the principles of preparing for competition. In a thorough and practical way the author discusses the selection of the competition horse; stable management; fitness and basic training, with special attention paid to specific areas such as lungeing and long reining, and dressage, show jumping and cross-country training. In these days of increasing levels of excellence in the equestrian world, this book will soon prove invaluable for any competition rider or trainer. Size: Sm 4to. Seller Inventory # 126339
