Schooling As You Hack: Getting Your Horse Fit (understanding Your Horse)

It is not always necessary to have access to an indoor or outdoor arena to school your horse. This book shows how to take advantage of safe hacking areas in the countryside and to improve a horse's fitness with the use of dressage movements. Nature provides a perfect opportunity to practice both simple and more complex dressage movements on almost any hack. This book gives practical examples of where, how, and why that will make schooling a simple everyday exercise for most riders. It will appeal to riders of all levels of experience and ability. Clear illustrations and color photographs help riders to visualize the possibilities that are available to them.
