Pressie Help Needed - Schooling Books

[Niamhy]

Morning all, cant believe its bloody November!!

Anywho Im looking to buy a present for my horsey friend, and I was looking at Schooling Exercise Books on the BHS site and Amazon.

Id be interested in recommendations for either Flatwork or Jumping Schooling Books.

Thankies!!

Can't help regarding books but I can really recommend a video/DVD called 'Dressage for Jumping' presented by Richard Davison. His 'students' are John & Robert Whitaker. The video reinforces how important flatwork is for showjumping.

It covers a training session, The young junping horse, Seeing a stride, Jumping a course, The flying change, & against the clock.

Presented well, filmed well, this is well worth getting.

look for any of anthony paalman's books. they are fascinating and invaluable i think one of the best ones is called training the showjumper or something like that. another really good book is showjumping for fun or glory

I have 101 jumping exercises for horse and rider, it is very useful, it has exercises for every level of rider. I'd highly recommend it

the 101 schooling exercises and 101 dressage exercises are really useful. They break everything down into snippets, and you can cobble the exercises together to form your schooling programme.

I thoroughly recommend the book "Dressage with Kyra". It's fab!
