“:this book is certainly an excellent addition to any competitive show jumper’s library.”
Book Description
A lively and intelligent guide to training winning jumping horses in the 21st century.
Internationally renowned rider and trainer Elmar Pollmann-Schweckhorst explains how classical dressage concepts are critical to the development of a willing and successful jumping partner. Readers learn how to assess a jumper's potential by examining his conformation, temperament, and individual technique over fences. Then, clear diagrams of exercises that integrate different phases of dressage training with jumper schooling help perfect the horse's form. A discussion of the history, progression, and future of fence and course design, and basic guidelines on the care and health of the working jumper are valuable additions.
