In this book, Jane Savoie offers easy-to-understand instruction without all the "dressage talk." She emphasizes solid training basics: forwardness, straightness, rhythm, transitions, and elementary lateral and figure work, demonstrating that classical training benefits all horses no matter what their sport. There are also interviews with many experts who cross-train their champions, excelling in sports as diverse as Western reining, show jumping, carriage driving, endurance riding, barrel racing, and showing Saddlebreds, Tennessee Walkers, and Arabians. Join in, and let Jane teach and inspire you to reach new heights with your horse!
