Advanced Techniques of Dressage

This translation of the latest German edition focuses solely on the art of dressage (the earlier book, Advanced Techniques of Riding, is based on the previous German edition and includes sections on show jumping and cross-country jumping as well).

This new book describes in detail the criteria governing each stage of dressage training -- from transitions and extensions to piaffe and passage -- giving the aids and training methods to be used for each movement or exercises. Respecting both purity and classical tradition, the book's aim is to create true harmony between horse and rider, and therefore mutual trust and confidence.
