Customer comments on this selection.
 Great Photos!
This book is very easy to read and the photos really help get the ideas accross. I bought this book for a friend who is a beginner rider to help her when she rides at home without help. It is a great way to remember lessons when you are riding on your own.
 Great Training / TeachingTool
This book gives many of the "basics" of training and riding. I recommend it to my students and we work on all of the exercises. Leslie Webb gives great explanations and many pictures that show the correct and wrong way to do the movements. This book is a great tool to develop a working partnership with your horse.
Build a Better Athlete
Webb's book is a necessary read for any individual seriously involved in horsemanship. Her gymnastic exercises are both concise and effective.
Her insight and discipline are contagious and makes you want to ride better and both help and support the horse. While I own plenty of Dressage Books, this is THE book to go to in order to really make it happen. Kudos to both Webb and Practical Horseman Magazine for putting this series together.
 Not what I expected - been there done that.
I have a ton of books and unfortunately, this isn't what I expected. Though the exercises are well illustrated and clearly defined, I was looking for a really good "fitness" book for my well trained animals! I wanted something different, unique. All of theses exercises can be found in any well written dressage book.
Something that Works!
What a great surprise. Here is an inexpensive manual with clear definitions, excellent photographs and diagrams as well as sections on what not to do, what can go wrong and how to fix it. The exercises build from basic to more advanced. I found her half-halt method to be simple and subtle but worked to stabilize even my NASCAR-minded mare. She suggests multiple methods to determine the correct timing to apply the aides. This book was recommended by a friend and I believe it is the most user-friendly, helpful book in my library. I'll pass the recommendation along to you wholeheartedly.
