Book excerpt: This text guides the ordinary rider through the difficult process of buying a horse suitable for dressage. Dressage is the fastest growing equestrian sport in Britain today and there is a wide variety of opinion as to the best type of horse. There are a number of different breeds and types of horses available at a range of prices. This book seeks to help riders find the right horse for them. The breeds are considered from Arab to Warmblood, as are the benefits and disadvantages of buying a trained horse or an untrained one; size and temperament and the age and colour are discussed. A detailed look is taken at the conformation and action of the potential purchase with an assessment of major and minor faults and the effect of conditions such as splints or windgalls.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The equestrian pursuit known as Cowboy Dressage melds the best of Western riding traditions and classical dressage in the pursuit of a harmonious relationship with a horse. Intended to be accessible to all, Cowboy Dressage is open to all breeds and all levels of riders; there isn’t a set frame for overall look, head carriage, or action. Lifelong horsewoman Jessica Black traces the evolution of Cowboy Dressage back to its roots, sharing the story of Eitan and Debbie Beth-Halachmy and their phenomenal Morgan horses that have served as the movement’s ambassadors. Black then expertly weaves Eitan Beth-Halachmy's experience and expertise into an engaging and articulate explanation of the philosophy of Cowboy Dressage; defines the expectations of the rider; describes what a participant needs in terms of equipment; and explores how the most important element—the horse—should be prepared. A wonderful and thorough section on groundwork, as well as specific training advice for achieving engagement, regulating the gaits, smoothing transitions, and balancing bend and straightness, get the reader started with a solid foundation. Specific descriptions of the Cowboy Dressage tests are provided, with additional tools for those interested in competition, including rules, divisions, and how to execute and judge tests.
