A protege of the legendary Vladimir S. Littauer and for more than
thirty years director of the riding program at Sweet Briar College,
Paul D. Cronin is a well-known and highly respected trainer and
riding instructor. Schooling and Riding the Sport Horse is Cronin's
clear and practical guide to getting the most out of your horse in
a humane and sensitive way. Beginning with a brief history of
educated horsemanship from the earliest published riding masters of
the sixteenth century, Cronin clarifies the differences between
forward riding and classical dressage, and how at times the two
have become inappropriately mixed. He then gives an in-depth
presentation of the American forward riding system that is the
basis of hunter/jumper riding and examines the ways in which a
rider's position and controls are essential to the training of the
horse. In the system as Cronin explains it, the three basic pillars
are position, controls, and schooling. In clear language, he walks
the reader from the beginning stages of training through advanced
jumping and cross-country work. He sets out proper methods of early
schooling of the young, green, or reclaimed horse, based on freedom
of movement under the weight of the rider at the walk, trot,
canter, and jump; of gaining the horse's trust and cooperation; and
of establishing agility and calmness in the horse at all gaits and
over fences. Schooling and Riding the Sport Horse is an important
book on horsemanship for riding instructors, trainers, and amateur
riders alike.
