Working equitation is a competitive equestrian sport that
originated in Europe, with the first European Championship held in
1996. It quickly gained a fanbase for its beauty and its focus on
classical horsemanship ideals and developing handiness under
saddle. In 2004 the World Association for Working Equitation (WAWE)
was established, and today, many countries have their own national
organizations for governing working equitation competitions,
including the United States-the USAWE was formed in 2020. Heralding
the advent of a brand-new way to pursue and demonstrate
horse-and-rider connection, working equitation competitor and
trainer Ali Kermeen has written a much-needed reference for
preparing both horse and rider to participate. The Working
Equitation Training Manual provides a one-of-a-kind progressive
training system to those new to the sport. Lessons focus on
developing confidence with the obstacle phases of working
equitation while incorporating dressage principles. The elements of
each obstacle are broken down and then brought back together in
step-by-step exercises that: - Prepare horse and rider to perform
an obstacle properly. - Introduce horses and riders to competition
obstacles. - Help improve and polish an obstacle's execution. With
clear diagrams and color photographs, a helpful glossary of terms
to help those unfamiliar with working equitation terminology, and
variations and benefits for every exercise, readers are provided an
appealing introduction to an exciting option for adding diversity
to daily training, as well as showing and competing in other
sports. "I started teaching these skills to all my students,
regardless of their riding discipline," says Ali. "These working
equitation exercises help my riders excel at dressage, endurance,
trail riding, pony clubbing, eventing, jumping, gaited horses,
groundwork, Cowboy Dressage, and breed shows." The Working
Equitation Training Manual promises to do the same for you.
