101 Jumping Exercises for Horse & Rider review:
5 stars (101 Jumping Exercises for Horse & Rider ) - I bought the book originally to add some variety to my training sessions and to obtain ideas on different exercises. Now both my trainer and I do not jump without the book close by. The different grid exercises have added so much to our workouts! Not only has it helped our horses become more confident it has helped our equitation tremendously. I would highly recommend this book for both beginers and the more experienced rider!
5 stars (Perfect book for the hunter/jumper) - I have a fairly green horse, and this book is an amazing help to getting her back and over fences. You can spend more time riding now, instead of having to always think up your own exercises. This book is well worth the money and I would invest in it in a heartbeat if I didn't already own it.
5 stars (Excellent - another must have.) - I haven't even finished reading this book yet, but I just have to say how fabulous it is. I have just started my youngster over fences and have found this guide invaluable already, with 25 exercises involving just ground poles, it is already well used. The exercises build up in difficulty so you are always making progress and at the same time having fun and educational schooling sessions with your horse. I think there is something for everyone, beginner to advanced.

As a budget conscious rider training predominantly on my own, I have found these types of guides priceless (see my other reviews) and they have really helped me to formulate a schooling plan each week and our progress has been very rewarding. I noticed that other riders at the barn were using the poles I left out in the arena and so I started posting the excercises on the bulleting board each week - inspiring everyone and creating great feedback and support. I know this is a book I will get a lot of use out of!
