About this title

Synopsis

While there are many excellent how-to books on dressage training, there are surprisingly few on dressage competition. Now, Dressage from A toX will prepare both the novice and the seasoned competitor for successful navigation of all the little, and not so little, elements of training and showing a dressage horse. It covers: the selection of a horse, equipment, and clothing; training the horse and rider mentally and physically for competition; locating shows and completing entry forms; traveling and show grooming; memorizing, practicing, and riding a test; evaluating judges' remarks; strategies for advancement; and much more. No more trial-and-error fumbling through shows, trying to figure out what is expected of you and your horse--it's all here in Dressage from A toX! Barbara Burkhardt has taught riding for35 years, specializing in dressage since1975. She is an active rider, judge, and show manager residing in Los Lunas, New Mexico.
