Over thirty years after the first publication of Reiner Klimke's classic
work comes this new fourth edition, with completely new photos and
updated by his daughter, Ingrid. Based on sound practical and
theoretical advice, this instructional handbook gives advice on
establishing a specific training plan for recreational riders as well as
competition riders to enable them to train their young horses
successfully. Every aspect of the education of a young horse is covered,
including: basic education and handling from foalhood; lungeing and
free-schooling; backing and training under saddle; developing impulsion
from suppleness; assessing and improving basic gaits; cavalletti work;
jumping training; cross-country training and, finally, preparing for the
first competition.
