Schooling the horse is not just about riding - many problems or
misunderstandings between horse and rider can, and should be,
sorted out on the ground before attempting to ride at all. This
book explains how to school your horse from the ground, starting
with fundamental techniques, and gives progressive exercises to
work through. It explains the importance of stretching work, how to
establish a correct outline, and how to build strength and
suppleness. Remedial work is also included to improve crookedness,
unbalance, and stiffness, for example. Also covered is the use of
training aids where necessary, and schooling over ground poles and
cavaletti, as well as jumping the horse on the lunge. Observing
your horse working without a rider gives you valuable insight as to
the correctness of his paces, how his muscle development can be
improved, and his general attitude and willingness. When your horse
is moving beautifully on his own, there is no reason why he cannot
do the same with you in the saddle.
