Book Description
Follow the advice given in this excellent, highly illustrated manual, and learn how to increase your enjoyment and satisfaction from this popular sport. Fitness is vital, just as much for the complete novice out for a hack as for the professional competing at international level: both horse and rider will undoubtedly gain more pleasure from their chosen activity, and will operate more competently, if they have managed to attain a level of fitness.
For some riders this is a difficult task due to lack of time (or perhaps inclination!), but here popular trainer Jane Holderness-Roddam demonstrates how easily fitness can be achieved using proven techniques and exercises, many designed specifically for the horse rider.
The horse's well-being is equally important: Jane provides sensible, practical advice on every aspect of his basic care and management, and discusses in full how to prepare a horse for the particular demands of specific disciplines.
