Title: Perfect BEGINNER book!
Review: I bought this book to help me teach a TB mare that had trouble taking the canter with the same lead in both ends. I liked that this book was an easy read; not a text book style manual. She explains her reasoning behind her techniques and tells you exactly what to do. I have taken Dressage lessons for 10 years, so I knew most of what she was saying already, but it always help to clarify what you have in your mind with another rider's opinions and experience. I gave the book to my mother-in-law who is just starting Dressage and she is finding it very valuable. She said that it gives her a guideline and a place to start with things instructors may take for granted; how to place your leg, how to put on a Dressgae bridle, and then good basics for lunging. She gives voice commands that work for her and my mother-in-law found that very useful. This is a perfect book for someone new to Dressage or Dressage lessons.
