The scales of training is a progressive training system that evolved from the teaching of the great riding masters of Italy, France and Germany. As a result of adopting this systematic approach to their training, today's top german riders are hugely successful in dressage and jumping, at world and Olympic level.

This book explains how to school your horse, starting with fundamental techniques, and gives progressive exercises to work through. It explains the importance of stretching work, how to establish a correct outline, and how to build strength and suppleness.

The author shows how exercises can be combined to create the optimum learning experience for rider and horse, both from a teaching perspective and for solo training. She explains exercises from the teacher's perspective: what to look for, and key teaching points to consider. This book will be a valuable resource for riding instructors and pupils alike, a welcome addition to the teacher's library.

This book discusses ground-pole training for all disciplines and shows how you can make the most of precious schooling time. Exercises range from the simple to the more intricate, with the inclusion of more transitions, lateral work, raised poles/cavalletti, or riding in a different gait.
