101 Dressage Exercises for Horse & Rider, by Jec Aristotle Ballou. 224pp Spiral Bound. Schooling your horse in standard dressage techniques creates a firm foundation for all performance riding – whether your interest is in classical Dressage or the wider arena of English or Western competition. Training in Dressage brings the dedicated equestrian closer to that ultimate goal of oneness between horse and rider, improving every riding session. Each of the book’s 101 exercises features an arena diagram or drawing illustrating the elements of the routine. Flip to the page you want, hang the book on a hook or drape it across a barrel, and refer looseness, balance, lightness, rider position, lengthening the stride, and perfecting flying changes. Regular schooling with these exercises will help you develop the skill and the ‘feel’ desired by every rider, of every discipline.
