Great Book.......2007-09-29
This is a great arena book with work plans to help the rider plan lessons etc. easy to understand and well displayed for while you are riding in you arena. hang it up and you can refer to it with ease. Great way of planning you lessons and helpful ideas to extend your riding.
Great horse exercise book .......2007-01-11
this is a great book for learning all the little things you need to know or for working on all those things you should know
what a great book awesome diagrams and simple explanations any one can use this book would be a great tool for instructors
Great book for the Intermediate rider working at home........2006-07-13
This book is great for riders who can easily walk trot and lope/canter and depart on a correct lead.
This is somewhat of a "crossover" book--dressage and western with exercises that are great for horse and rider, but which my not be popular with di-hard dressage or western only trainers. The exercises would be difficult in many cases for the rider using a true forward seat hunt saddle unless the stirrups were legthened A LOT.
Very handy for a rider working at home without regular lessons.
In an enlightened age, Cherry is still old school.......2005-02-10
Cherry Hill has come up with some neat little exercise books to offer you training ideas. But she has some outdated ideas on horse training. Compare the advice you get in her book "The Formative Years" with some of the more enlightened trainers published in the last 20 years.
A valuable addition to your equestrian library........2004-01-12
The number of excellent reviews for this book reflect the application to riders of all levels and disciplines. The most valuable aspect of this book is that it encourages the rider to formulate a plan for their schooling sessions and make a conscious decision not to do the same thing day in day out - something we are all guilty of on occasion. Make your schooling sessions more fun for you and your horse with this informative guide.
Book Description
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 ideas.......2007-08-07
This book has so much info on different exercises and each exercises has little hits about when to use this exercise and what to watch out for while riding it.
Evolution of jumping skills........2007-05-13
This book breaks the demands or jumping down into a logical progression of skills until it takes the insecure beginning rider into a confident partner to the jumping horse. If these lessons are followed correctly, it can also take a training level horse into a skilled show jumper. This book is a must for anyone interested int he discipline of jumping.
Great Jumping book for beginners .......2006-08-19
This book creates a great foundation to train yourself and your horse to excell in jumping no matter what your intentions may be. I personally would recomend this book for all ages and engligh riders even the one's with no intention on jumping.
A Great Book To Keep In Your Tack Room!.......2006-01-14
I have started to do some of these exercises with my Appaloosa gelding. He is ten, but has gone western the two years he has been trained and is very ignorant of english riding skills.
I have been doing these exercises with him, and it really worked! He is now on his way to being a confident jumper. It was pretty easy, too. We set up the cavaletti and cross-rail grids, and followed the patterns described. I am now proud to say I have a hunter in training. This book is highly reccomended to everyone; whether your horse is a confident jumper, or just learning, 101 Jumping Exercises For Horse And Rider is a great source to jumping exercises!
101 Jumping Exercises for Horse & Rider .......2005-08-02
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!

Great book.......2007-08-09
I find John Lyon's Bringing up Baby very informative! The pictures do a great job illustrating each lesson. I just purchased a filly, and I want to give her the best life possible. I think by following John's techinques you can't go wrong. His videos are great too!
Sometimes we forget to use common sense when working with horses, and if you pay attention to them and learn to properly communicate, you will find a great new enjoyment with your horses!
baby steps.......2007-06-27
this book is great for illustrating kind, consistent lessons to educate yourself and you young weanling. if you want to establish a good relationship, and have your youngster become willing, accepting and to like you, then buy this book.
Concise, easy to follow, great book!.......2007-06-17
This is a great book for those who need to teach a baby, an ex-racer, or any horse the essential basics. Each lesson begins with a description of that you're going to do and why. There's also a list of needed equipment (all of these lessons are to take place in a round pen or arena with the corners "rounded" off). Step-by-step, Lyons takes you through the lesson, providing a picture with each step and a description of what you are doing. I recommend this book to anyone who needs to teach any horse basic ground manners.
John Lyon's Bringing Up Baby.......2007-05-13
Although the methods do not work 100% on all youngsters, it gives the trainer a base to work fro. From there, common sense and knowing the horse you are working with comes into play
Bringing Up Baby.......2007-02-23
John Lyon's Bringing Up Baby is one of the best manuals for early training. The book is well written and organized. It is easy to use when looking for solutions to training problems and the steps to good solid training for your young horse! Superior book!

How Your Horse Wants You to Ride, good advice.......2007-08-09
How Your Horse Wants You to Ride: Starting Out, Starting Over
If our horses could have a verbal conversation with us, it would be about how they want us to ride on their backs. So, if that is the information you are looking for, this book will do that for you. Coming to horses late in life, with only weekend trail riding and no ownership in my background, learning to train my horse and ride her has, at times, been overwhelming. All bad habits that horses have are from bad training, not from stubbornness or naturally occurring mean spiritedness. Every interaction we have with our horses teaches them something, good or bad. Gincy is a patient person, I know from interacting with her on her Riding with Confidence list group on Yahoo. She has great insights into muscle memory, fear, breathing, etc. and the way those things cause horses to react in one way or another. How Your Horse wants you to ride is not a quick fix answer. It is deep and thoughtful requiring work on the part of the owner/rider. The reward is as great and worth striving for. After all, if you have a horse, you want to have fun with it, not be fearful of it.
Usable "Centered Riding" plus some.......2007-05-30
This book has inspired me to work on bareback exercises this summer to retrain my balance. I'm sure my horse will thank me. Having ridden with the author when I was a teenager (40 years ago), I remember the value of the bareback riding after this book reminded me. I have tried to read Sally Swift's "Centered Riding" but just didn't engage me. This book has and I will be applying the lessons to myself.
Great book for riders at all levels.......2007-03-08
I started riding quite late in my life and this book has been a great help to me. Whenever I encounter a problem I consult it again and it always gives me new ideas which work. I like especially the mixture of at home, on the ground and on the horse exercises. You can try basics safely first before you mount your horse. I am a Western rider and although its focus is English riding I was able to use it.
Starting Out, Starting Over.......2007-03-07
In clear consise detail the author puts her over 30 years of experience into the student's hands. She takes you from the first meeting with your horse, on through to the clearest description of the use and purpose of aids I have ever read. This book is in my hands before and after every lesson, and evenings in between. The more often I go through it, the better I get.
Ms Bucklin is famous for her Seven Steps, which are a "must know" for safe and balanced riding. And if she did nothing else, she made clear to me the importance of grounding, centering and balance. The book is empowering because technique rather than athleticism is stressed and for one returning to riding at the age of 66 I am grateful. The pictures clearly show the correct positions which the student can then emulate and the author communicates her knowledge of the sport with encouragement and love.
Absolutely a must have book!.......2007-03-06
As a beginning rider with my first horse this book is at the top of my list! I'm well over 40 yrs. old and suffered a major horse wreck a couple of years ago, breaking my back in 5 places, pelvic bone in 3 and leaving me with a bit of a fear problem as well. But, my dream for over 30 years has been to own horses so I pushed forward. While I've ridden for quite some time, I do feel like I'm a beginner because all of my previous riding was simply get on, kick to go, pull to stop!
How amusing! This book gives you so much very needed information to help you in every aspect of horsemanship. From the ground to cantering and more importantly the very important confidence that you need. I really can't say enough about this.....simply an excellent book! Written in a manner for any level of rider. This one will remain at the front of your bookshelf!

Clinton Anderson.......2007-10-06
Very thourough step by step book on how to get control and respect of a young or old horse. Great illustrations and easy to read format.
Great information for training horses.......2007-06-27
I have four horses and one of them has some attitude problems. I would have liked to purchase Clinton Anderson's videos, but they're pretty expensive, so I bought this book. It's great and has given me many good ideas for working with my problem horse. It's principles, of course, apply to any horse and this book is a great read for any horse owner.
This book deserves 10 stars.......2007-06-26
This book is so well written, easy to use, easy to understand and easy to follow. The exercises are clear and thoroughly expained with pictures that show the correct technique. There are descriptions of what the horse may try to avoid the exercise as well as what humans may do wrong when performing the exercises; solutions are included on how to fix these problems. This book was well thought out, both in terms of how to train your horse and how to train the rider. My problem horse (a biter with an attitude and an attention span of about 5 nanoseconds) is responding excellently to this program. I purchased Pat Parelli's book and gave up on the book after trying the 1st few exercises (my horse kept trying to bite me). I am thrilled with Clinton's book and am finally enjoying the companionship of my horse. I wish I had done this sooner.
It Doesn't Get Any Better Than This.......2007-06-02
After the Lyons and Parelli prototypes in the world of horse-whispering, along comes Clinton Anderson whose amazing talent intrigues me. I've owned, bred, raised, and trained horses for 64 years and this young man has a lot to teach anyone. I can certainly recommend either his books, seminars, DVDs or all of the above.
Excellent book for ground manners.......2007-06-01
There are wonderful, easy to follow, step-by-step instructions for every excercise in this book. I really love the personal remarks made by the two 'students' who were chosen to be a part of this project. Highly recommend!

SSeq: not just for eq riders.......2001-05-26
This book was absolutely fabulous. It gives information about the most popular breeds that compete in saddelseat equitation, and Helen Crabtree is especcially helpful with all of her years of experience. Even though the book is more than 20 years old, the lessons inside remain true. This is a timeless book that should be read by all saddleseat riders to enhance their possible performance in and out of the show ring.
Saddle Seat Equitation by Helen K. Crabtree.......2000-07-13
This is an absolutely superb treatise on Saddle Seat Equitation, particularly for those new to the sport. Even for experienced Saddle Seat riders, there is probably no clearer explanation of the basics of showing the saddle horse anywhere, and we all need a bit of review ocasionally! The book covers a wide scope of subjects connected with the training of horse and rider to enter the world of riding and showing in the Saddle Seat discipline. Crabtree adresses such critical but sometimes overlooked subjects as the role a rider's parents can and should play at shows, beauty in the pairing of rider and horse, and teaching the adult show rider. What it offers in scope, it lacks in depth - and this is deliberate, since it is aimed at the new rider/trainer. Although every rider would benefit vastly from reading this book, especially the sections on the Saddle Seat Equitation tests, more advanced riders will not find it satisfying in terms of in-depth discussions of training or show ring techniques, as that is not its focus. But it is an extremely worthwhile book for riders of all levels, and it is also an eminently readable, delightful and informative chronicle of the Saddle Seat Equitation world from the 50s to the 80s.
This is a GREAT BOOK.......1999-09-03
I sugest this book to EVERY HORSE LUVER especially Saddlebred LUVER it is filled with funny stories, history, and memories
A Saddleseat Primer.......1998-09-18
The author, Helen Crabtree, is a noted horsewoman. She's won the AHSA Horsewoman of the Year Award and the United Professional Horseman Associations's Trainer of the Year award. She has trained over 75 World Champions with her methods. This book shares her expertise. The book deals with the mechanics of riding Saddle Seat, proper tack, and rider attire, but does not deal with judging Saddle Seat. The emphasis is on showing.
Book Description
Listen to and communicate with your horse-successfully
"This is a book for everyone who has ever looked at the constantly increasing list of methods and systems marketed as `horsemanship' and wondered which of the many possible approaches would be most suitable for a particular behavior problem. Gincy Bucklin has distilled her many years of experience with horses and riders into a very useful, step-by-step, hands-on book. Bucklin's writing is smooth and easy to read, and no matter where you open this book, you'll find that her deep respect and affection for both equines and humans shines through."
-Dr. Jessica Jahiel, author of Riding for the Rest of Us
"Gincy Bucklin uses her decades-long experience with horses to answer that most frequently asked question: `Why did my horse do that?' And she comes up with creative solutions that weave together traditional horse handling with the best of modern horse training, including my own personal favorite, clicker training."
-Alexandra Kurland, author of Clicker Training for Your Horse and The Click That Teaches video lesson series
It takes time for a horse to learn everything we want him to know. If we don't make our intentions clear to him in ways that he can understand, or if we don't listen to what he wants, problems may result. Featuring easy-to-follow, step-by-step advice, What Your Horse Wants You to Know reveals how to communicate effectively with your horse to create an atmosphere of mutual cooperation.
What Your Horse Wants You to Know focuses on improving your horse's behavior on the ground, so you can develop relationship and communications skills without the more challenging problems that arise once you're on his back.
- Use your entire body to communicate with your horse
- Show your horse that you respect his needs and feelings
- Be patient and consistent with your horse while having fun
- Understand your horse's fears and overcome them
- Respond appropriately to physiological or nutritional problems
- Use praise to make your horse feel confident and successful

Equine enthusiast.......2007-07-16
Very good reference book. Author presents from the horse's point of view which is how the title reads. As usual, however, the one problem that my hose developed is missing. But that may be expected since horses don't often read.
A Must-Have for All Horse Owners.......2007-04-12
Whether you're a beginning horse trainer or more advanced, and no matter what kind of training you are into, this important reference guide will teach you to communicate with your horse.
Excellent book !!.......2007-03-06
Gincy has provided a wonderful resource for all horse owners whether beginners or seasoned experts. No matter what discipline you are involved with, this book will become a favourite. It applies to horses beginning their education as well as seasoned competitors, ridden or driven, and just much loved family pets.
The basis for all relationships with our horses is communication. Gincy explains clearly how to read what your horse is saying to you and how to clearly communicate your instructions to him.
This book, like Gincy's others, is full of Gincy's very perceptive insights into equine behavior and motivation. At the same time, she generously cites highlights from the work of other successful trainers and instructors. She totally understands and loves her subject. She isolates each 'problem' or unwanted behavior, explains what it means and not only tells us how to change it but also what not to do.
For the beginner, this book provides a ready reference to cover hundreds of situations that arise in our day to day association with our horse or pony. For the experienced horse person, it is a compendium of knowledge that is so far unequaled in training literature.
Aside from all that, it is an entertaining read.

Book Description
Dressage, the equestrian practice in which a horse makes highly precise movements in response to barely perceptible signals from the rider, has taken hold of America’s equestrians. Participation rates have risen by 200 percent over the past twenty years, as baby-boomer riders have discovered dressage to be less strenuous and dangerous than jumping, yet offering the satisfaction of mastering techniques and the opportunity to compete and advance to higher levels of achievement.
101 Dressage Exercises for Horse & Rider, presented in Storey’s highly visual “Read & Ride” format, features a full arena diagram and stepby- step instructions for each exercise. The exercises address all levels of riders, starting with the basics and moving up to maneuvers developed by members of the U.S. Olympic team. Training tips and masterly guidance make this an indispensable reference for all dressage riders. Even Western riders interested in enhancing their performance will find these foundational exercises useful.
Dressage riders are information-hungry readers, often referred to as “the thinking horsemen.” This book’s sturdy format, combbound and drilled so it can be hung on a ringside post, will appeal to these reading riders, whether in or out of the saddle.

Loving this book!.......2007-10-07
I love this book, it is simple for the simple minded. Allowing your brain to open without hurting! lol! So highly recommended!
Exercises make hard work more fun.......2007-09-24
Dressage requires great attention to many small details and a clear head to keep them all straight. 101 Dressage Exercises helps you focus on the details in a fun way. At my barn we often challenge each other to see who can do an exercise most correctly with our trainer as coach and referee. We have ended up riding better becuase we made these into a good-natured game.
Exercises for Dressage.......2007-05-29
This is an excellent way to keep track of your progress and stay focused on your work. It starts out with simple exercises and continues to progress in skill levels as you accomplish each one. Great warm ups, easy to understand.
dressage exercises.......2007-05-16
This is a terrific book, very simply designed and expressed.
It has given me a large number of ideas for warm up, planning my sessions and the exercises to improve my dressage skills.
I just have to make the time to get on with the exercises now.
For Riders of All Levels.......2007-04-10
Even a beginner will be able to follow the simple diagrams, and advanced riders will love the suggested exercises.
Book Description
Widely known for her innovative teaching philosophy stressing body awareness, the value of "soft eyes," proper breathing, centering, and balance, Sally Swift has been a pioneering riding instructor for half a century. In book form for the first time, her methods enable horse and rider to achieve harmony, working together naturally, without pain.
Unlike traditional teachers, Sally Swift does not believe in forced training techniques that cause stiff bodies and tense riding. Instead, through the use of vivid, unusual, and highly creative images that transcend mechanics ("Pretend you're a spruce tree; the roots grow down from your center as the trunk grows up"), plus a thorough knowledge of human and equine anatomy, this wise and inspiring teacher enables the conscientious equestrian to reassess habitual responses, in order to ride in natural positions, break through frustrating plateaus, and achieve ever-rising goals with comfort, vitality, and precision.
Precise illustrations and photographs never before used in riding books explain anatomy and image work to give mind and body new and relaxed approaches to the inner process of riding.
Centered Riding is for those with little experience all the way up to world class.
Customer Reviews:
Literally the breakthrough I needed.......2007-05-20
I read this book 20 years ago, while trying to learn to ride as an awkward adult. I was getting so frustrated, I couldn't find my seat and felt totally out of control in the saddle. My husband kept offering counter-productive "tips" such as, "squeeze with your legs" (to sit the trot)....All I can say is, thank Heaven for Sally Swift. Her metaphors and mental imagery were exactly what I needed. Someone with natural athletic balance would perhaps not need this (someone like my husband, who rode before he walked). However, for someone like me who has to learn it from the head down, not from the seat up, this book can be the key to a secure and comfortable seat. It is in every library, read it, then buy it if this style of teaching "speaks" to you.
A 94 year old star with great heart.......2007-05-06
Having had the priveldge of working with Sally Swift I am stuck not only by her skill , but by her kind and gentle way of dealing with everyone and everything she comes in contact with. At 94 years old when most people are seeing their lives as over, Sally sees the future as being bright. She was just honored by the United States Dressage Federation as being one of the top writers and riders in the country and I say" Way to go Sally". Her books Centereed Riding and Centered Riding 2 have together sold over 500,000 copies and have changed the lives of countless people and horses alike. Not only horse riders, but black belts,ice skaters, world class olympians, etc. Centered Riding and Centered Riding 2 are books too good to miss.
Must Have Book for Every Rider/Instructor.......2007-03-22
I participate in alot of different sports/hobbies from English/Western riding, to skiing to dog obedience/agility training to cycling and various art pursuits. If you are the type of person who ever finds yourself having difficulty following the words someone uses to express something new to you and instead find following visualization or imagery examples easier then this book will help you. For example, when I was first learning to ski countless instructors explained that I was "sitting back in my seat" or " back on my heels"... lean forward they said... "no, not like that, not from the waist, with the whole body"... finally one said "pretend you have a $100 in the front of your boot and you don't want to lose it" and Eurkeka - the light bulb went on! And so it was with riding... which is why (paraphrasing) feeling your weight in your heels like you have roots to the ground from your feet worked better for me than "keep your heels down" and so on... you get the idea. This is a great book that takes the basics and gives you some alternative ways to think about them.
Centered Riding.......2007-01-18
I was satisfied with my purchase and very pleased with the speedy service and delivery. Will continue to purchase from amazon.
A Classic that all riders need to read.......2007-01-08
If you ride, you need to read this book. So many of the modern riding techniques are based on Ms. Swift's experiences. I learned how bad my posture is and how it affects my horse when I ride. Not only did it help my riding but it helped my general posture and helps eliminate back aches. The illustrations are very enlightening.,
Book Description
A superbly illustrated instructional manual offering groundbreaking, step-by-step solutions for hundreds of horse behavior, health, and training problems.

best book I have used.......2007-10-07
I breed, train, raise and sell TWH. I also am a practioner of Equine Massage. This book has given me wonderful results in my communication and training of my horses. It is now my #1 gift-giving book for friends who are committed to working seriously with their horses. It is easy to understand, concise, values my limited time. M
Very good book.......2007-07-13
I really like this book. It gave me some good tools for working with my young horse.
if you love your horse(s) as much as we do, get this book!!!.......2007-05-13
Even if you have a whole shelf filled with books on horses,and you're lucky enough to have at least one of these magnificent creatures to care for, this book is a must have. we are still practicing a few of the technics currently on our mare.She loves the contact(and touching).
and the author also covers the issues of horses who do not like to be handled or touched due to accidents, abuse,etc. and how to gain their trust.And most importantly,it makes you more attuned to their needs in general.
Not Quite the "Ultimate".......2007-05-07
I would say the book is half training and half sensory / massage techniques. Granted the techniques are incorporated into her training methodology, but it's a dual education. Learning the massage techniques, their purpose and results, then learn how to incorporate them into the appropriate training methodology.
I believe the methods are worthwhile, but there's a large human learning curve. To me it's a book that must be read at least twice, and then referred to constantly per training result needed.
With that said, independent of training, I have used a few of the massage techniques on my horses with great results. But with general life, (work, children, husband, etc....) in the several months I've had the book I've only progressed to using several of the massage techniques. I've referred to other books for training help.
I like the book, it's written well (provided I read it twice, the progression makes sense to me). I do not see it as a straight forward guide to training. More so a guide that is great when I have time to devote to it's philosophies and learn the massage base techniques first that accompany the training.
For straight forward training assistance I prefer Clint Anderson, Lynn Palm, Parelli and John Lyons (to name a few).
