101 Dressage Exercises For Horse & Rider by Jec Aristotle Ballaou, Lisa (FWD) Wilcox (2005, Paperback, Spiral)

I LOVE this book! I was looking for a book that I could use to enhance my training at home in between riding lessons...and this is IT! It is practical, easy to use, and informative. Its clear, concise table of contents allows you to focus on specific training goals (i.e. warming-up, straightness, lateral work, etc.). Its easy-to-use individual tips can be used as a part of your existing training regimen, or combined with other exercises in the book to create a new comprehensive riding plan. This book can help beginner to medium riders advance their riding abilities and skills. The design of the book (coil-bound flip-up) allows you to take it to the arena with you – if you desire. I would highly recommend this book to the dressage enthusiast and any rider who wants to improve their riding!

Possibly the best tuition book for dressage! Logical stance, aimed not only at the hard core dressage freaks but anyone who cares about the well being an fitness of their horses!

Easy to read and follow, good terms. Very good basic and advanced exercises and how to apply them. The days that we ride in circles and accomplish nothing end with this book. Diagrams are great, easy to copy and stick in your pocket to refer back to as you ride, or hang in the tack room to refresh before you ride. Excellent teaching tool with good step by step advancement and what to look for.

This has been helpful in adding variety to my practice. My horse loves variety, so this keeps her interested. It also gives me stuff get coaching on in my lessons.

Loved the book. Great ideas to keep riding interesting and to keep you out of a riding rut. Wonderful diagrams to make understanding easy.
