Show Jumping Made Easy: The Way to Successful Show Jumping (Understanding Your Horse)

For many riders, show jumping presents a challenge—to jump a course of fences in perfect harmony with your horse, measuring your skill against that of other riders, maybe even ending up in the placing. Success, however, doesn’t just materialize from nowhere. This practical and thoughtfully illustrated book provides clear, precise advice on the necessary foundations for success, demonstrates what jumping training with progressive exercises looks like, and shows how typical difficulties can be overcome. Topics covered are poles and gridwork, judging the take-off, jumping unknown fences, improving the technique of horse and rider, and analysis and correction of faults.
