Good Books for Beginners?

Just to clarify, I'm not a beginner rider, I have been riding for 22 years, although most of it over fences as a hunter princess, ha ha. Dressage is a new area for me, I have been playing at Eventing…

Back Soreness, Suddenly!

This is a very common sports injury site. Get a massage therapist in, and get yourself some Sore No More to apply to the area. The arnica reacts to the injured area and will foam lightly over the str…

Ideas on Suspensory damage...

Forgot to add; please give him at least 6 to 9 months, preferably a year before resuming any training with him. Most often people do not give the horse enough recovery time, and they end up re injuri…

Ideas on Suspensory damage...

I would definitely work with your vet and a physiotherapist. Shockwave therapy is wonderful, but do look into the stem cell injections, combined with shock wave and physiotherapeuitc treatment gives…

I was in the same position as you several years ago when I begun dressage riding and had NO CLUE what to read to help myself further my learning. First, I would like to say, you are on the right track with a trainer, and reading is a great way to u…

Since you are an experienced rider maybe I can help. I found that when I read "The Way to Perfect Horsemanship" by Udo Burger and "An Anatomy of Dressage" can't remember the authors, I finally started to understand somewhat the concepts and descript…

Having a dressage trainer is always the best, but try "Practical Dressage Manual" by Bengt Ljungquist
December 13, 2009
I love that you mentioned "White Stallion of Vienna." That is my favorite children's book ever. On a different subject, I recommended "Complete Training of Horse and Rider," and I will admit that as a beginning rider, a lot of it is over my head. Th…

Basic Training of the Young Horse by Reiner Klimke would be an excellent book for someone with a 4 year old. He's a Gold Medalist. Also Cavaletti- same author. For the rider , Classical Seat by Sylvia Loch and Dressage for the Young Rider by Pegott…

Mary Wanless is really great too and, of course anything by Reiner Klimke. If you can find any videos of Athur Kotas, the former head of the riding school in Samur, he's amazing.

I think a book for beginner with green 4 yr old horse is very difficult, really. I honestly don't feel Sally Swift is a good place to start, nor is Dressage in Lightness. I think a person needs something much simpler and more basic, and to be very h…

This is a very common sports injury site. Get a massage therapist in, and get yourself some Sore No More to apply to the area. The arnica reacts to the injured area and will foam lightly over the stressed muscle.

Thanks Jennifer! I was joking. I'm just checking back in now and realize people didn't realize that. Well kinda joking. You see if you never figure it out, you can always honestly answer "I don't know, it's worth it, whatever it is" when asked. I re…
