Publisher's Note Unlike most dressage books, the advice in DRESSAGE TIPS AND TRAINING SOLUTIONS is presented in a highly accessible way: a question-and-answer format that identifies problems and offers solutions to training difficulties. The book covers the main elements of the horse's education, from early schooling on the longe through to Grand Prix movements; throughout, it stresses the need for sympathetic handling of the horse at all times. It also includes a chapter on jumping, with gymnastic grid exercises to complement work on the flat. The German training principles, including the establishment of solid basics--such as looseness, submission, responsiveness to the aids, and impulsion--are continually emphasized, offering insight into why and how the German system produces so many of the world's top horses.
