Good books for schooling youngsters

[MungoMadness]

Does anyone have any recommendations?

I have a 5yo and would like some bedtime reading to supplement our lessons and for general inspiration!

I'd like to do dressage with him if that makes a difference.

Thanks in advance

William Fox-Pitt - Schooling for Success (has lots of good pics) and also Pippa Funnell - Training the Young Horse.

Both interesting and useful

Those are the ones Al re-reads, and she uses Celebrity Jumping Exercises a lot with her gang too- it has lots of exercises which you can build and build on so it's always useful.

"Basic Training of the Young Horse" the revised edition with Reiner and Ingrid Klimke published by J.A.Allen. (the new edition published in 2006) Its an amazing book, covers everything from foal to first shows, and gives exercises etc for each stage of the horses training. I think its a book that anyone who rides a youngster should read, whatever the discipline they wish to specialise in, just brilliant and invaluable.
