Schooling and Riding the Sport Horse: A Modern American Hunter/Jumper System Hardcover November 24, 2004 Hardcover

"Paul D. Cronin is a well-known and highly respected trainer and riding instructor. Schooling and Riding the Sport Horse is Cronin's clear and practical guide to getting the most out of your horse in a humane and sensitive way." "Beginning with a brief history of educated horsemanship from the earliest published riding masters of the sixteenth century, Cronin clarifies the differences between forward riding and classical dressage and describes how at times the two have become inappropriately mixed. He then gives an in-depth presentation of the American forward riding system that is the basis of hunter/jumper riding and examines the ways in which a rider's position and controls are essential to the training of the horse." Schooling and Riding the Sport Horse is an important book on horsemanship for riding instructors, trainers, and amateur riders alike. Read more
