In Germany, this wonderful book has gone through four very successful editions and is now finally available in English! Aimed principally at intermediate and advanced riders, the book offers excellent assistance for the long and not-always-easy road to success in dressage. There are definitely no shortcuts offered here, but a systematic approach built on tried and true principles of training handed down through the ages. The pages are peppered with vital tips and step-by-step instructions, and there are over 100 specially shot colour photos of Carl schooling his horses at home, bringing on youngsters, and fine-tuning the more experienced superstars. The author leads the reader progressively and purposefully to the higher levels of dressage in a logical and often witty approach. Excellent line drawings clarify and enhance the text, making this one of the most readable books on dressage available. There's a good reason for the positive response this work has enjoyed through the years in the German original and now you, too, have the same opportunity to learn from one of the modern masters! b/w diagrams
