Schooling Horses In-Hand by Richard Hinrichs
		QTY:
The book is filled with clear explanations and numerous colour photos of the necessary equipment and techniques for schooling in-hand: aids and their application; work on the lunge; long reining; suppling and collection; lateral movements - shoulder-in, travers, renvers, and half-pass; the Spanish walk; and airs above the ground - pesade, levade, courbette, and caproile. A thorough reading of this book will provide ample proof that there are many different ways of training within the system of classical equitation, and that every trainer should explore all the available methods without prejudice. As Brigadier Professor Kurt Albrecht, Director of the Spanish Riding School from 1974 to 1985 attests, Richard Hinrichs has included mush valuable theoretical knowledge in schooling in-hand that has also been well tried in practice. He goes on to say, 'The book is not only worthwhile for purposes of study and expanding knowledge, but it is also a source that we can use with great pleasure to achieve happiness as riders. It deserves to become a valuable part of present day equestrian literature.' HB, Colour Photos + Illustrated, 160 pages.
