A reference work embracing the subject in its entirety from unbroken horse to show ring success. In a pleasing first-person style she offers guidance through the technicalities of a complex subject, explaining in careful detail the attainment of a good and natural seat, a balance and handiness, the purposes and uses of the various aids, and the performance of movements and tests, always with the compassion that alone can bring perfect understanding between rider and horse. Intended for no particular age group or level of experience. Dressage as a discipline should be practiced by the youngest pony rider, Dressage as an art can be performed by those who would admit to being well beyond the bloom of youth, as has been clearly demonstrated by TV coverage of the Olympic Games and international events. And even for those whose involvement cannot extend beyond the armchair or arena seating.
