Makes dressage less intimidating and easier to understand!

This book is outstanding! I am 38 but new, although I have to ridden since I was 7, to dressage. I have MANY books on my shelf on the subject from world class riders/instructors but this is by far the best at simplifying dressage in an easy to understand and non-intimidating manner. Excellent book on the complete subject of dressage....covering the most complete history and origin of dressage, individual movements from beginner to advanced, as well as goal setting, equipment, and the aspect of mental imaging. It explains in detail the why's and how's and also why and how horses react to proper and improper application of the aids, as well as how to properly correct improper or evasive behavior. Great book not only for kids but for adults too!
