Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. New condition green boards with gold spine lettering contained in a new condition color photographic dust jacket. Includes Foreword by Greg Best; Preface by Frank Chapot; Glossary and Index. "If you do what he says, you'll win!" - Greg Best, Olympic Medal Winner, from the Foreword. "America's number 1 horseman, chef d'equipe of three medal-winning U.S. Olympic teams, reveals the art and science of winning equestrian competitions. For the first time in print, Frank Chapot tells how to select and train a horse, and how to compete successfully in big time competition. He describes how he learned to win and how he trains others to win too, and shares some of the wonderful experiences he has had riding for the USET and training some of the world's top horses. Whether you are just starting to show or are winning at the grand prix level, Winning with Frank Chapot will help you perform your best. From selecting a suitable horse to riding a grand prix course, Chapot guides you through the many decisions involved in competition. He tells you how to select a jumper prospect, discussing conformation, athletic ability, and attitude, and gives tests to ask of a horse when trying it. He provides numerous training exercises to help horse and rider become a confident team - from bounces designed to aid the horse and rider in stride adjustment, to turns designed to keep the horse flexible and obedient. He presents three courses - a schooling jumper course, and amateur-owner jumper course, and a grand prix course - and rides the reader over each course, jump by jump. In a final chapter, he answers questions that riders most often ask him. Throughout the book, using incidents from his years of experience, Chapot alerts riders to pitfalls in buying, training, and showing horses, and shares his secrets for getting the most out of a mount, explaining how to build a horse's confidence and bring it slowly through the jumper ranks - as he did with Gem Twist." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: "Frank Chapot wears many hats: chef d'equipe for the United States Equestrian Team, international course designer, judge, trainer, and breeder. A member of the USET since 1956, he competed in six Olympic Games and three Pan American games, winning tow Olympic silver medals and two Pan American gold medals and a silver. Riding famous horses such as Good Twist and San Lucas, he has won 46 Nations Cups, a Guinness record. He coached the 1984 gold-medal Olympic Team, the 1986 gold-medal World Championship Team, the 1988 silver-medal Olympic Team, and the 1992 Olympic Team. One of his most outstanding achievements was to train the winning team of Greg Best and Gem Twist, which won the individual silver medal at the 1988 Olympic Games. Chapot judges many horse shows in the United States and abroad, and designs courses for all the major shows. He has bred numerous top horses, including Gem Twist, Good News, and Good Enough. He lives with his wife, Mary, and their two daughters on a horse farm in New Jersey." - from the rear outer jacket. …
