What do riders want from their horse ? Whatever their goals, they need to understand that how the way the horse is put together affects his athletic ability, and what his limitations and abilities are likely to be.
They must also recognise the enormous extent to which they, as riders and trainers, can affect the horse's capabilities and either enhance or decrease his potential. No horse is perfect but almost every horse can be helped to overcome such limitations as nature has imposed upon him.
This book sets out to show how the average owner can assist any horse to achieve maximum potential - whether the ultimate aim is dressage, endurance, eventing, show-jumping, riding-club activities, showing or general recreational riding.
