Im writing my present list!

No.1 is Denny Emerson's 'How good riders get good'

I know that there were a few other must-haves mentioned some months ago?

Thank you!

I have the updated version of this in dutch, very thought provoking, deals a lot with the psychology of training for both horse and rider, not so much "this is how you ride a shoulder-in". Lovely photos.

Ha! I wrote a post like this the other day - I have decided against Denny Emerson. His blogs really annoy me.

^ Buy this book.

Seriously, you will not be disappointed, it's beautiful, useful and very interesting. The original is famous for its diagrams of all the aids (bit hard to explain but basically ' maps' of what you do with each part of yourself) and that chapter had been translated (expensively and not very well) but it's infinitely more useful to have it in context. Plus there's some cool stuff about famous horses, past and present.

And the pictures are absolutely amazing, and the book itself is a nice coffee table book, a must-have, honestly
