Usually ships in 1 business days | | | | | | Linda Allen has spent more than 35 years in the equestrian industry, training, riding, jumping, competing, and designing courses. In 101 JUMPING EXERCISES FOR HORSE & RIDER, she provides a logical and consistent series of exercises presented in a fun and appealing way, with clear arena maps and straightforward instructions. For each exercise, Linda covers set-up; how to ride the exercise; steps to make the exercise more difficult; what every successful rider should keep in mind while working; when to move on to the next step; and the benefits of the exercise. This must-have workbook, a sequel to the successful "read-and-ride" 101 Arena Exercises and 101 Horsemanship & Equitation Patterns, stresses safety, skill building, and success for riders of all ages and levels of experience, whether their interest is in show jumping, eventing, hunters, equitation, or just plain having fun with their horses. Designed in the same user-friendly format as the previous books, with a lay-flat comb binding, the book can be hung on the barn wall or draped over a jump standard in the training area so the reader/rider can refer to it from the saddle. | | | |

Great Jumping Book Aug 18, 2010
Love this book. It has tons of information on different jumping exercises. It will be a great reference for years and years
indispensable tome for hunters & jumpers May 03, 2010
When I first started riding over fences, I was lucky enough to find a trainer who firmly believed in gymnastics. In fact, our lessons were ALWAYS gymnastics, and we only did coursework just before a show. After a long distance move I found a new trainer, who only focused on coursework. Eventually I asked: why no gymnastics? She said "oh, that's the old way of training" Hmm.
I'm a firm believer in gymnastics, they are fun, they are challenging, they keep you engaged and they develop skills like nobody's business. I'm a better rider and a better trainer because of this book.
Awesome excercises for both teachers and riders! Sep 09, 2009
I love this book. I have over 50 Hunter/Jumper students and find this book to be one of the best for problem solving and great lesson ideas!
Great book for "Things to Do"!! May 21, 2009
I teach riding and this book really is a help when things could be getting in a old rut. Great layout as well.
Excellent ! Apr 27, 2009
We are using this book during the training of our young event horse. Having little experience in "producing" horses but rather riding them while regularly having a lesson, this book is invaluable for those who would like to understand more about "why", "what to do" and "what to look for". A good and knowledgeable trainer should not be substituted by this book. But here is the trick:
Lessons and clinics are difficult to replicate and the rider can often be too busy during training to remember the trainer's words and timing thereof afterwards. This will inevitably leave him or her with many questions, especially: "How did I achieve the goal of this training, how did I do it?" This book makes you answer for yourself. It is however almost mandatory to have a helper stand alongside, to read and look and comment on how the exercises are performed. This too is a very good learning experience.
Anyone using this book is strongly advised to start at the beginning, however simple it may seem and perform each and every exercise as precisely as possible before transitioning to the next. I feel this is not a book for the beginner rider. But being very thorough and precise will help you to be very critical of your own and your horse's level of training, while getting into a good position to pinpoint flaws. All in all this book is a wonderful addition to your existing training and understanding thereof. Patience, empathy and self criticism are the virtues of horse training anyway, so get the hang of it!
A similarly good book is
101 Dressage Exercises for Horse & Rider
Also very recommended!
Enjoy your training and be grateful for your horses willing response to your combined efforts!
