Dressage books...

[applestroodle]

Hi

I wondered if anyone had any recommendations on any good dressage books. I have started in my dressage lessons doing some more lateral work such as half pass and flying changes, I am looking for a simple easy to read book that would help me learn how to ride them correctly.

Cheers

I have found Carl Hester's books very easy to read and understand with great pics of the rights and wrongs...
But I found that changes are in the category (for me) that I can only feel when it's right or wrong, and practise was the thing that helped me work out why things didn't always go according to plan.. Of course with my trainer's eye to help as well!
Good luck, relax and keep breathing!!

DVDs or videos can be useful too as you can watch what is happening whilst someone talks you through it.

This is one of my favourites...

The Richard Davison Flying Changes DVD is really good too

Ooops I should have looked here before asking a pretty similar question.

The German one is one I looked at. Also the Pilates for dressage riders - any good?
