In the pursuit of excellence - which must be every dressage rider's preoccupation - problems or difficulties are bound to arise. This practical handbook should enable the dressage rider to identify faults, find their cause and set about putting them right. Areas covered include: rider's position and horse's outlines; saddlery; dressage terminology; paces; school movements; rein-back and pirouettes; flying changes; piaffe and passage; and finally test riding. The author is a List 1 dressage judge, promoted to full international status and made a World Cup judge in 1994. As a rider he has represented Great Britain at home and abroad including the World Dressage Championships.
