Essential for students taking British Horse Society exams, and invaluable for all riders - the official handbook on riding and training the horse. Fully revised by Consultant Editor Islay Auty FBHS, re-illustrated with diagrams by Dianne Breeze, and presented in the same large paperback format and style as the enormously popular BHS Complete Manual of Stable Management.
The BHS Manual of Equitation offers a complete and authoritative system of training for horse and rider, from complete novice through to advanced. The methods are based on the classical concepts first written about by Xenophon and now amended for competitions by the Federation Equestre Internationale (FEI), reflecting modern-day practices and teaching methods.
