Progressive School Exercises for Dressage & Jumping: A Handbook for Instructors and Riders

Outstanding book for riding instructors who teach both private or group lessons. Excellent and detailed information on various patterns and exercises to use when riding horses with the aim of developing their suppleness, balance and ambidexterity. Tips given for common errors and challenges that riders and horses face for each exercise as well as the benefits to be expected from riding the patterns carefully.

Many of these exercises are not new to the horse world, however I think this is a publication every teacher and trainer should have on hand. Sometimes when teaching I find it difficult to come up with a new exercise to have my students perform. Even though I have done and taught thousands of them in my lifetime somehow they never come to mind when I need them. Now I can just open to any pageof this book and have an excellent exercise. The best part is that they are listed progressively so I know just where to flip for my beginners, intermediate students and advanced jumping students!

Nice book! I use it for have inspiration during my stage 3 and 4 teach exams and I use it every day on the school lessons. Really helpful if you don't have fantasy with exercises!

Clear, concise and effective exercises carefully planned and truly progressive. Easy to follow diagrams and very good explanation of the way to build the exercises from warm-up to execution. Very helpful.

A very useful tool for the riding instructor written by one of the top instructors in the Country. I would certainly recommend this book to all aspiring riding instructors.

This book was quite instructive and helpful compared to the others from the same collection. It actually describes the benefits and the aids required for the exercises. I was really happy with it.

Great book Great service
