Art of Training
 
What do riders want from their horse? Whatever their goals, they need to understand that how the way a horse is put together affects his athletic ability, and what his limitations and abilities are likely to be. They must also recognize the enormous extent to which they, as riders and trainers, can affect a horse's capabilities and either enhance or decrease his potential. This book sets out to show how the average owner can assist any horse to achieve maximum potential - whether the ultimate aim is dressage, endurance, eventing, showjumping, riding-club activities, showing or general recreational riding.

The aim of Realize Your Horse’s True Potential is to enable the average owner, rider and trainer to improve the general ability and performance of any horse no matter what his or her age, whether the ultimate purpose is general recreational riding, riding club activities, eventing, showjumping, dressage or endurance. The author looks at the strengths and weaknesses inherent in different types of conformation, and suggests ways in which riders can minimize the effects of any weakness while recognizing the limitations. The emphasis throughout the book is on what can be achieved; no horse has absolutely perfect conformation but almost every horse can be helped, through correct care, training and riding, to overcome such limitations as nature has imposed on them, and to become fitter, healthier, happier and more versatile as a result, thus enhancing the rider’s enjoyment. Every horse owner, rider and trainer will benefit fro the study of his immensely practical, fascinating and ground breaking book.

She is a liaison member of the Classical Riding Club, and is a regular contributor to the Club’s quarterly Newsletter.
