"Everyday I keep on learning," says renowned horseman George
Morris. "Every horse I ride, every student I teach, every clinic I
give, every class I watch, every book or article I read, every
conversation I have teaches me something." Morris has now accrued
more than 70 incredible years of riding, training, and horsemanship
experience, gleaned from the very best in the equestrian industry,
all around the world. Here, he aims to share what he feels are the
key points of all that he has learned over the course of his
illustrious life with horses. "Looking back on my life, the luck
I've had, the shoulders I've been able to stand on..." he says,
"that is why I am writing this book: to just try, just try, to pass
it on!" Readers will find Morris's trademarks: swift to the point,
with an emphasis on clarity, he highlights the finer points of the
equestrian life and the responsibilities he feels it bears. He
moves deftly between topics, touching on rider position and
competency; horse training and schooling (both on the flat and over
fences); caring for the horse properly, with empathy and the
intention to do right by his nature; and ultimately, competing the
horse successfully while keeping him sound, willing, and
comfortable in his work. With an in-depth introductory section on
stable management contributed by John Madden, and featuring a
visual feast of over 300 gorgeous images--many of them starring
acclaimed international show jumper Beezie Madden--this is a
one-of-a-kind reference from an equestrian force without parallel.
